I recently conducted a Tai Chi workshop at the Helensvale library and all the participants got to do some simple exercises for around twenty-five to thirty minutes. I have read reports from some studies that Tai Chi can ease pain - I think the article was talking about arthritic pain - but have never experienced that kind of feedback from my students before. However, at the end of the session everyone as usual reported warm feelings of relaxation and well-being but one lady happily exclaimed that when she came to the workshop she was experiencing pain in her hip and by the end of it her pain was gone! I found this very satisfying.
