Tai Chi Essential Principles: training for health professionals

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the application of Tai Chi Essential Principles in a therapeutic environment. The specific goal is to have rehabilitation therapists apply the Tai Chi Essential Principles method with patients who have balance, stability and mobility issues. The outcome is positive change in the speed of recovery including increased performance in the areas of balance, stability and mobility as well as confidence and well-being. These, in turn, increase the individual therapist’s performance as this methodology integrates into the therapeutic approach.

The idea of the Tai Chi Essential Principles program is to facilitate a grasp on the open vastness that is Tai Chi and the whole genre of internal cultivation. The hope is that it allows the western scientific community an opportunity to understand how these arts work in the areas of health and physical performance as well as in cultivation of personal insight and meditation.
