Tai Chi for Arthritis - 12 Lessons - Free Lesson

This was purchased for a student to use to practice in between classes

This is an outstanding video. I would recommend this to anyone.

My doctor recommended Tai Chi to help my arthritis that has fused several of my vertebrae together. I tried Tai Chi at our local Senior Hall, but there was no teacher. I struggled to keep up and ended up in severe pain after attending three sessions. I found Dr. Lam’s video on YouTube and loved the instruction. I have been using the Tai Chi for Arthritis DVD daily for about three weeks now and am making progress without pain. The emphasis on doing only what you are able to encourages me to keep going. Instruction is easy to understand and motivational.

I am taking a beginner class of Tai Chi for Arthritis through our local Rec Center. I wanted the DVD to be able to better practice on my own and it works great! Dr Lam makes it easy to understand the forms and through repetition, even a beginner can pick it up!

I've been practicing Tai-Chi in the Yang style for ~4 years now. I wanted to branch out and see what the other styles were like, and I saw someone demonstrate Sun style and immediately knew it was my next method of exploring Tai-Chi. I do not have arthritis or have movement problems. I'm 31. From my perspective the Sun style has a few upgrades to its form that the Yang style does not - the focus on performing the movements on both sides of the body, and the integrated Chi-Gong breaths with the opening and closing hands are pretty awesome for cultivating a sensitivity to one's Chi and maintaining a truly balanced program. This would be an awesome introduction to Tai-Chi and energetic concepts in general, not only for those living with arthritis or other joint pain. Dr. Lam is a chill guy that embodies the slow openness of Tai-Chi and makes it all very approachable. I will be including some of his wisdom in my own teaching methodology.

I have tried another DVD for Arthritis and while it helped with flexibility, I was not convinced that it was teaching me in the best way. When I took a look at Dr. Lam's video and saw how he taught, I realized that this was a true teacher. After having a concussion, I suffered from dizziness and fatigue and both have virtually disappeared! Thank you for the gift you have given to countless people, Dr. Lam and may you continue for many years to come. Blessings.

Dr. Lam, thank you! I absolutely love this program! It's like having my own personal instructor. Since I started the program my hip joints and knees do not ache all the time and I don't dread taking stairs in the morning anymore. I really love how Dr. Lam continually reminds, in a very gentle tone, that there is no rush in Tai Chi. Those words reminds me to slow down after a very quick paced day.

I am very excited about learning Tai Chi for the first time with Dr. Lam's DVD. I have arthritis in both knees so I decided to try the arthritis lessons first. Once I have mastered them, I hope to move on tho the regular beginner lessons. I am starting late in life, at 75, but I am really looking forward to doing this for the next 25 years!!!

I bought these DVD's as I injured my knee at my former place of employment. I found out that not only did I sprain my knee, but that I had arthritis in my injured knee. I did about 3 weeks Physical Therapy, but had to stop as Workers Comp would only pay until I was released back to work. I found out about the program on YouTube and spoke to my PT about it. He recommended it, so I bought the DVD's. I am regaining the balance I lost and love the low-impact!
