TCC & Healing Research

Chris McLain, Fargo, ND writes: Colleen Heising, TCC instructor and I are working with a research physician from the Veterans Hospital in Fargo, ND on “Alzheimers and T’ai Chi Chih”. This is the first research that has been done relating to the power of Movement with Alzheimers. The researcher, Dr. Alberto Pontillo, originally from Chile, is excited about movement as he has screened ALL research with Alzheimers and has found nothing that addresses TCC or movement effects on Alzheimers. (In 1985, I started a group of Alzheimer patients at a nursing home, Villa Maria, and Colleen became certified and has continued to work with the group. We are excitedly awaiting the results of the “statistical/research stat list.” We’ll keep you apprised of the results.
