Many people only see Tai Chi as an exercise for the elderly and practiced in China. However, Tai Chi is the exercise that is combined with the healing process of Chinese Medicine. In another sense, it is the physiotherapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The non-strenuous movements in Tai Chi is what enables the body to heal properly and slowly by recognising the areas of pain whilst enhancing the free flow of blood to reach all areas and extremities in the human body. The intensity of the exercise can be increased depending on the way the movement is performed.

As Tai Chi is the physiotherapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Both disciplines look at cultivating, nourishing and healing Qi (energy/life force) and Blood in the human body. In Chinese Medicine the use of herbal medicine or acupuncture gives a command to direct the flow of Qi and release the muscle tension along the meridians of the human body.
