Hi everyone
I have been told to try tai chi in order to help with my balance. I tried my first tai chi class today and I found it really helped me focus on my balance! I enjoyed the class and hoping to go a couple of times a week and maybe I will improve over time.
Has anyone else given it a go?
Hi, I've been going once a week for about 2 months and enjoy it too. I also go to Pilates and yoga classes but find the balance exercises, ( eg standing on one leg!) a bit too challenging. I like the moving balance exercise in tai chi. I'm in my 60s and we have a few 80 year olds in our class, so I'm hoping its something I can keep up!
Sounds good! There is a small group of ppl practicing Tai Chi in my local park. Might look into that. Thanks for sharing!
yes I have tried it but my balance was so bad I gave up and did wheelchair based exercise instead. I also go to a basic exercise class at the local Adult Ed college and that has been really good. I had a shunt done in December and that made a big difference to my balance ( I have ataxia and hydrocephalus)so I can walk much better now and can get on buses and trains on my own which I have not been able to do for over 4 years. I think it is a question of finding the exercise that helps you most and it is good to have the social aspect too! carry on the good work XX Sylvia
Thinking to try balance wear
