Tai Chi for Arthritis Classes
Tai Chi for Arthritis is a specific, gentle program developed by Dr. Paul Lam with the Arthritis Foundation, built on the smooth, joint-friendly movements of Sun-style tai chi. It's designed to be safe for people with arthritis and joint pain — slow, controlled, and low-impact — and studies suggest it can help ease pain and stiffness while improving balance and confidence; it's also recognized by the CDC as an evidence-based fall-prevention program. Instructors usually complete Tai Chi for Health training to teach it, and classes move at a careful, encouraging pace. It suits anyone managing arthritis, rebuilding mobility, or wanting the gentlest way in. This is general information, not medical advice — check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
