Tai Chi is a beautiful moving meditation and exercise usually taught in community settings but often viewed as complicated and difficult to learn. This lab-based course is designed to teach participants how to begin applying Tai Chi in patient care across settings. Using our expertise in motor learning and motor control, physical therapists are well prepared to learn and teach basic Tai Chi postures, stances and stepping sequences that can enhance patient wellbeing while improving posture, balance, and motor performance. Clinical application of Tai Chi in healthcare has the potential to reduce stress and anxiety to give patients as well as the therapist powerful tools to incorporate relaxation and mindful movement into traditional exercise, balance, and gait training. Attendees will learn applicable movement and exercise strategies that can be immediately applied to patient care.
