This VHS/DVD is for anyone who often sits, including office workers, frequent flyers, seniors, and to keep moving while recovering from knee, hip or other surgeries. Arthritis Today called Tai Chi "tailor made for those suffering with arthritis", and NIH studies report increase in immune function, balance, and reduction in stresss. This DVD/VHS extends the benefits of Tai Chi integrating Japanese Self Care, as used by patients at Stanford Hospital, from a seated position.
In addition to a 20 minute set of Tai Chi and Chi Kung moves from your chair, it also includes a guide to basic acupressure points for immune function, pain, and other acupressure points used in the set which can be used as BODY TUNE UP anytime, anywhere. DVD includes additional instruction on Japanese Self Care - based on the same methods used by patients at Stanford University Hospital to reduce hospital stay by up to 21 days for bone marrow transplant patients, as reported in Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society, 2003, by the instructor.
Instructor Cindy Mason provides a guide to acupressure points for pain and immune function and visually instructs Tai Chi Chi Kung movement with relaxing sounds from the bubbling creek near Indian Canyons in Southern California where filming took place.
