Story at-a-glance
- Tai Chi, a branch of Qigong, has been practiced for over 2,000 years. Frequently described as meditation in motion, the activity takes you through a set of slow, gentle movements while you focus on your breath
- Tai Chi and/or Qigong may be particularly beneficial for the elderly and those struggling with chronic pain conditions, thanks to its low impact. You can even do Tai Chi if you’re confined to a wheelchair
- Some of the strongest evidence supports Qigong for conditions relating to pain and fatigue, lung and cardiovascular function, balance and coordination, stress and anxiety, and general immune function
