From the viewpoint of sport´s medicine Tai Chi is an important way of prevention and treatment of diseases but also an important part of the healing process in hospitals (e.g. improving high blood pressure). As both body and mind are trained at the same time, these exercises stimulate the cortex by activating some parts of the brain and by retarding other parts. This allows the brain to relax and stops the tension on the cortex which is provoked by different bad influences. Therefore this sport is part of the healing process for diseases of the nerves and soul.
Tai Chi requires the whole body - active and passive (Yang and Yin). While doing the exercises the muscles are working in a gentle way, going from tension to relexation. The muscles are strengthened by flexing and stretching. Tai Chi is an excellent way of strengthening the bones and consequently prevents atrophy. The flexibility of the whole body is trained by the smooth movements. This is the reason why pliability of the joints and muscles is maintained and/or improved.
By adopting the principles and movements of Tai Chi we get in harmony with the natural rhythm of the body. To learn how to live according to this concept is a good way to improve the quality of live.
