Facilitated with staff to the front of the group leading the movements.
Those with lowered sight are seated close to facilitator.
Our residents attend this activity with confidence of success.
I have observed the steady flow of movement to engage people living with dementia and hold their attention.
Outcomes of group participation, connection to community, increased focus, calming environment; not to mention the physical benefits.

This is the second time I've purchased this dvd.
Used in the aged care sector (with approval from our physio first) it's excellent exercise which also provides confidence, accomplishment, social support and mindfulness for our community. It is also culturally diverse and a physical activity. It ticks so many boxes for our programme plan thank you.

This is an excellent exercise for people, like myself, with arthritis.
I had the - Tai Chi for arthritis DVD - for several years. Earlier this year, I had to have my right leg amputated. I do not have a prosthetic yet so am in a wheelchair. I looked on your site and found this one.
I get the same great exercise, even though I have to do it seated for now. It really helps my arthritis pain!
Thank you, Dr Lam!

A gentle exercise particularly in the warm ups, that allows participants to take part within their comfort zone. Clear and precise activities that are enjoyed as something different by my group.

My GP has recommended Tai Chi for my P.D. condition. And I found it very helpful.

I work as a Diversional Therapist in an aged care facility. After purchasing this DVD, our residents look forward to every session and are improving each week. Some residents have joined in with Tai Chi who have declined invitations to any other type of gentle exercise group we have offered.
Our residents are very frail aged - some are in their nineties - so the gentle pace and seated format are very suitable for them.
Thank you for this wonderful product!

I know several people that have arthritis and I would recommend this Tai Chi for arthritis to any of them. I feel nice and relaxed after this, and my hands and joints feel better. This is easy to learn and follow, and it is my favorite part of the day!

This seated Tai Chi for arthritis actually does help with the pain and stiffness. It is easy to follow and very relaxing. This was a good price and I use it every day!

I teach TCA under the Dr Lam method.
Until I purchased the seated TCA DVD I was encouraging several elderly and moderatley disabled people in my classes to try the form in a sitting position. The purchase of this DVD has given me the confidence to continue with this teaching method.
I will loan the DVD to these students to practice at home and I am sure this will encourage them to press on to find the benefits of this wonderful muscle strenthening form.
