Customer Reviews

Tai Ci for Arthritis
this DVD is excerlent and is easy to follow I practised with this for a long time and have since gone on to attend Paul Lams workshop and attained an instrutors certificate. It certanly helps with arthritis

Very good intructional DVD
This DVD is well presented and features warm up exercises, a set of the six basic movements and a further six advanced movements, with warm down and Qigong exercise. Dr Lam carefully explains and shows each movement at a pace anyone could follow. An excellent product.

Terrible quality, no medical viewpoints, but might be useful
This DVD is not great. After searching for DVDs on the subject I felt sorely disappointed to find only a handful, of terrible products. This is substandard from start to finish. It's only saving grace is that it has nice packaging! This looks like a low grade VHS, not a DVD and there is no attempt made at anything resembling a scientific appraisal of the impact of Tai Chi on Arthritis. This DVD would have benefited from including some science, some doctors and some real treatments. I am a Tai Chi and Chi Gung practitioner and do sincerely believe many Tai Chi practices will benefit Arthritis sufferers, not in the least because it encourages sufferers to mobilise the joints. Plus Chi Gung has been utilised in Chinese Medicine and hospitals for centuries.

But what is really needed is a combination of: natural pain relief (to ease symptoms), diet changes (to avoid chemical, food and other sensitivities, plus also to correct the candida yeast problem), environmental awareness (to understand and combat environmental triggers ranging from stress, to moulds, to gas, to chemicals), exercises (to maintain and extend range of motion in the joints).... i.e. a holistic approach.
