Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 You can get Tai Chi DVDs by Dr Lam. These are the ones the American Arthritis Association uses for certifications for Tai Chi for Arthritis. You could also contact your local Arthritis Association and ask them where a Tai Chi for Arthritis class is located in your area. I got one of his DVDs on ebay a couple of years ago, but if you do a Google search for Tai Chi Lam, you will find places to purchase DVDs. Chrissie [ ] Tai Chi for RA Anyone here do tai chi? I've heard that certain forms are really good for arthritis & RA. Can anyone recommend a dvd for learning, as joining a group is not an option as I'm in a rural area. My new drug regime is working & I'm trying to do as much as I can to bring back my strength & flexibility. I try to ride everyday & I do some weights a few times a week. My knee still holds me back especially when it decides to throw a spastic fit! I'm hoping something like tai chi may ease it.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I bought " Tai Chi for Arthritis " by Lam, I havn't tried it yet. I also bought " Healing Yoga, for Aches and Pains " by Anchor Bay, I tried this one and it didn't cause any pain, it was very soothing and easy. Also I got " Just My Size, Yoga " with ...it is designed for larger women...but she teaches you modifications to yoga to easy pressure off different parts of your body, so you can eventually build up to going to a class. I like her the best! Good luck with it! It has helped me. Things like Yoga and Tai Chi, help build muscle tone and stamina. It's works well for me! > > Anyone here do tai chi?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I have had both my hips replaced, and am now recovering from spinal fusion surgery. Both my hip and back surgeons have told me no yoga. But I am very interested in the Tai Chi. Please post again when you have tried it. I am going daily to my YMCA and walking around and around the shallow end of the pool. gentle hugs! Marcia in New York > > > > Anyone here do tai chi?
