Parkinson’s Stresses

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, I learned that many neurologists recommend T’ai Chi Chih for patients like me, so I began taking TCC classes about a year ago. At that time I often required a cane and my physical activities were quite limited. With the help of medications, TCC and other exercise classes, I am now able to function almost normally. I believe the main thing TCC helps me with is stress management; any amount of stress makes tremors and other Parkinson’s symptoms worse. For this reason alone, I will continue to practice, and I am very grateful to have learned it.
