Spinal Stenosis

By: Joan Hutchison

Eagle, Idaho

I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2009. At the outset I was unable to walk; I’ll never again achieve anything resembling aerobic exercise. To avoid surgery I began intense physical therapy, and I’m walking well now but still cannot exercise freely. I was introduced to T’ai Chi Chih and found this to be a physical exercise I can perform. TCC provides circulation and balance. I’m more stable and more flexible now, and I am able to improve my core strength through peaceful, graceful movement. At last I can exercise and regain fitness and increased energy. Thank you.
