T’ai Chi Chih journal:

I began taking T’ai Chi Chih in October of 2000, and I have had fantastic results with it. I’ve had chronic upper back pain for years and had been told by many doctors that my only recourse would be to have breast reduction surgery. I debated this quite a bit, as I have known people who’ve had the surgery done and though they were pleased with the results, the pain of healing and resulting scars were a common complaint.

The back pain was finally becoming too much for me and I’d decided to do it and was actually saving for it. After only two classes and (somewhat) diligent practice, I had NO back pain! And I’ve now dismissed the idea of breast [reduction] altogether.

I’ve also suffered with very bad asthma for most of my life, but after a month of T’ai Chi Chih, I’ve had fewer attacks and those that I do have are very mild … even the side effects from the asthma medications aren’t as noticeable.

Other results have been just as fantastic; I sleep better, I’m more relaxed; I have more energy; ideas at work flow more clearly and faster; I’m less depressed; friends and co-workers continually compliment me on a “glow” that I have now; and I just feel better about life all around. I’m recommending T’ai Chi Chih to everyone in my life!
