Unlike other popular ‘recommended’ or ‘sponsored’ programs which are marketed as ‘specifically designed for arthritis’, this one really is specifically designed for patients with arthritic conditions! What is Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™? Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™ consists of deep breathing Chi invigorating exercises to specifically target the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the joints of the body that are most susceptible to arthritis.

learn Tai Chi Chi Kung for
Arthritis ™?
Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™ is not a generic Tai Chi or Chi Kung exercise. In other words, it is not a drastically cut down version of Yang Style or Sun Style Tai Chi marketed as “to relieve or alleviate arthritis”. Unlike other popular “arthritis” programs on the market, it consists of Chi Kung exercises specifically designed for arthritis, and contains exercises designed to exercise and strengthen the tendons/ligaments and the joints. This is a distinguishing feature of Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™. This program is simple and safe to practise. Because Tai Chi and Chi Kung for Arthritis™ targets the tendons, ligaments and muscles associated with the joints, it is also excellent for wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, ankle and neck pain. It is also suitable for sufferers of carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, stiff/locked shoulders and painful shoulders.
The Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™ program The Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis ™ program is divided into2 main sections:- 1) Stretching and warm-up (for tendon/ligament strength and elasticity) to increase range of movement) 2) Tai Chi Chi Kung for Arthritis (specifically targeting arthritic areas) · Easy Tai Chi (modified - for circulation and development of Chi) · Joint movements exercises · Joint range of movement exercises · Joint muscle/ligament/tendon strengthening · Weight-bearing exercises · Balancing exercises
All the above are performed with deep breathing and a mental focus of targeting the arthritic condition.
Stretching helps to improve tendon/ligament strength and elasticity, and thus increase range of movement at the joints.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Chi (qi) circulation and development is essential for the effective treatment of arthritis. Thus, the circulation and development of Chi is the essential base and ingredient for all forms of arthritic therapy. Easy Tai Chi ™ is specially created by Master John Chow as an easy and effective method of Chi development and circulation through Tai Chi Chuan. It can be practised regardless of age, sex, and strength. Recommended

Resource Links:- I found the following links to be very useful, and relatively free of bias and potential conflict of interest from “sponsors”:- The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases has very erudite medical information on arthritis. Their website is:- http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/index.htm The http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_lifestyle_changes_can_help_manage_rheumatoid_arthritis_000048_10.htm Real Age Rheumatoid Arthritis center http://www.rheumatoidarthritis.realage.com/ Netfit has very good exercise illustrations and advice. Compare these with your so-called professionally sponsored arthritis program and see what is missing. http://www.netfit.co.uk I apologise for not including certain “authorities” on arthritis due to potential conflict of interest from “sponsors” and “associates” with marketing hype.
