AN HOUR OF TAI CHI DAILY MAY HELP PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S WALK!
Hey, it's Marco! People with Parkinson's disease often suffer from shaking limbs and stiff muscles, which makes moving increasingly difficult. Now scientists have found practising an ancient Chinese martial art could help both their balance and ability to walk. A team from the Oregon Research Institute assigned nearly 200 patients twice weekly sessions of 60 minutes each in either tai chi, resistance-training or stretching. This is sweet!
Tai-Chi!
