Kauvery Hospital, Alwarpet, organised a Tai Chi Session at the free clinic, organised for individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease and suffering from its symptoms, such as slowness of movements, stiffness of body and tremors.
Tai Chi is a mind-body exercise that is often practised to strengthen the upper and lower body. It helps to relax the muscles and can be adapted by anyone, those confined to a wheelchair, individuals recovering from surgery or those who are receiving physiotherapy.
Individuals affected by Parkinson’s have slow coordination of hands, legs and the body, which often leads to falls and injuries. The practice of Tai Chi has the potential to improve balance, flexibility and quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s Disease.
