TAI CHI: MEDICATION IN MOTION!

TAI CHI: MEDICATION IN MOTION!

Presenter: Nancy Krueger, MSW, CPT, Health and Wellness Coordinator, Calumet, Outagamie and Waupaca ADRC

Harvard Medical School, in its August 2019 health publication, suggests that Tai Chi, which is often called meditation in motion, might well be referred to as “medication in motion.” In addition to preventing falls Tai Chi also helps reduce the effects of arthritis. The practice of Tai Chi has been shown to be helpful for a number of medical conditions including low bone density, breast cancer and its side effects, heart disease and failure, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, sleep problems and stroke.

On the third Friday of each month join us for a new speaker addressing a wide range of issues that will help our community age well and prevent falls. Upcoming topics include: home modifications, caring for loved ones, and become active again with assistive recreation.
