Great quotes--Tai Chi for stroke: Before, my arm was tight to my body and now it’s a lot looser. I can move it around and lift it up. http://annayork.ning.com/profiles/blogs/tai-chi-qigong-a-whole-person-approach-to-restoring-function-ms-s/edit …

Tai Chi is good for stroke! According to reported global estimates, 15 million people suffer from a stroke each year, resulting in 5.5 million deaths, with 5 million left permanently disabled. Typical disabilities following stroke include poor neuromuscular control, hemodynamic imbalance, and negative mood state. Tai Chi (TC) is associated with better balance, lower blood pressure, and improved mood, which are important for stroke survivors. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17698454
