Tai Chi for Osteoporosis is based on available medical evidence by Dr. Paul Lam and a team of tai chi and medical experts. It aims to improve balance and to prevent falls. It will also improve relaxation, fitness and health.

How does it work?

There are many ways that tai chi helps people with osteoporosis. An excellent study showed tai chi slowed down the loss of bone density approximately three fold. When people with osteoporosis fall they are more likely to sustain a fracture. Many studies have shown that tai chi reduces falls.
