In 1996, Dr Lam with a team of medical and tai chi experts created this safe and easy to learn program. Medical studies confirm Tai Chi for Arthritis relieves pain, reduces falls and improves quality of life, that is why the Arthritis organisations around the world advocate this program and the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (www.CDC.gov) recommends it for fall prevention.
What is special about this DVD is that you will feel as though you are participating in Dr Lam’s class. After a brief introduction of what Tai Chi for Arthritis is and how this DVD can benefit you, Dr Lam will teach you with step-by-step instructions, lead you to practice and explain the reason behind every move. At the conclusion of the DVD Dr Lam will demonstrate the set from both front and back views. The unique music was composed with the rhythm and energy especially for this program!

my students love it
I've used this DVD in my beginning class with excellent results. The students quickly gained respect for the necessary precision of the moves and the importance of repetition to gain skill. Above all, they quickly learned respect and admiration for the form. Great benefit to the teacher as well as the students.

Clearly explained & Easy to follow
I really enjoy doing these exercises. It's an easy to follow progression. The only reason it isn't 5 stars is because the warm-ups and cool downs are exactly the same for all lessons - very boring. Fortunately I have a live instructor who varies the warmups and cool downs. Makes it much more interesting.

Great warm up exercises!!!
It reinforces what I learned in class. My only wish is that he'd mirror the movements so it would be easier to follow. Watching his back while I see the students do it in the opposite direction makes it a bit challenging for me.
-
Clear instructions
This DVD has very clear and understandable instructions, and it gently and patiently leads you to learning the correct forms.

Easy to follow
My husband and I are enrolled in a Tai Chi class for arthritis which meets once a week at our neighborhood community center. The Tai Chi for Arthritis DVDs reinforce what we learn in class and provide an easy to follow way of reinforcing lessons as well as going ahead. I would strongly recommend them even if you are taking Tai Chi lessons.

I really like the workout but I wish it moved through things a little quicker

great purchase
This is a wonderful learning DVD set. Dr. Lam is very slow and precise about the moves that he teaches and he does it in a way that makes it easy to learn. Very peaceful and encouraging.

Comfortably living with Arthritis and pain!
The Tai Chi for Arthritis movements, if learned in a step by step process, will help those with Arthritis and back pain, become more flexible, gain strength and live a much happier life style. Gentle exercise and diaphragmatic breathing will place your mind and body at ease while this gentle exercise is done. I've been teaching older adults easy Qigong and Tai Chi exercises with good results....now I'm coming over to Dr. Lam's teachings as well! Great DVD!
