So glad to hear about your benefits from my program, it is so wonderful to empower yourself to be healthier! I knew the feeling because by now i have arthritis for 58 years. Keep practicing and enjoy tai chi. Happy Festive Seasons for everyone! Paul
I've never seen an instructor explain moves in so much detail. I've tried tai chi before and gave up because instructors never explained form like this or not at all. Thanks!
Dr. Lam is for sure the one to learn the flow of energy plus relaxation of body & mind glad found this Tai Chi suggested by wellness society now see why .
Thanks for your comment, however Tai Chi for arthritis is designed for people with all kinds of arthritis, over 30 published studies on how effective it is on relieving arthritis pain, improve mobility, balance, reduces falls and improve quality of life. This is why arthritis foundation around the world have recommended it, and millions of people tried and benefited from this program. You can find more information and list of studies on the Tai Chi for Health Institute website.
Hi Jmcfa001 thanks for your praise! I think it was just me incorporating as much tai chi into my teaching as possible. Glad you enjoy tai chi and the tranquility came with it.
I suffer from ankylosing spyndolitis, im 27 years old! I suggest you guys these exercises since i feel better after i exercise myself! Itll feel a little hard in the beggining but ull se the diffrence after u finish the exercises. Do it slowly and with patience .God bless u all, keep pushing✊
I was diagnosed with AS when i was 11 or 12. I'm glad Tai Chi has been good for you I like to imagine my joints are gently opening up. I get a lot of stiffness in my upper back and shoulders. This really helps after walking, too
Such a gentle and doable way to improve your health. Wish more doctors knew about it and would encourage patients to use it. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless.
I call Dr Paul Lam a great Master, because he really makes great positive work. The hidden power of Taichi works unconsciously for practitioners, after 15 years of practicing it is so hard for me to become ill. In my 57,5 I feel as if I`m 18-20 years old.Thanks, great thanks to Master!
Dr Lam you indeed have a way for teaching and with your sweet gentle voice and smile makes it more enjoyable. Thank you, Dr. Lam ..God bless you always
I absolutely need this. I have need of this so much with shoulders, knees hips, and have had two back surgeries and need right knee total replacement and already had left one done, for bone on bone and hips too, in time. I am 70 yrs old. Used to dance and taught exercise to residents in an adult home ( for seniors) now have pain so much, it is hard. Some times harder than others. This will not be as bad as the dancing on my joints. If these surgeries keep up I will be made of only Titanium and I am not saying it to be funny at all as know it is terrible. Thank you!
Wouldn't it be nice if our Doctors would recommend Tai Chi to their osteoorthritis patients? My Doctor did tell me to go to a physical therapist-but I find this one lesson is much more benefit able for me.
Beverly Druskis I am a PT and for the last 32 years I have recommended Tai Chi to many of my patients and my primary referring physicians who like the idea sent many patients to me to get the best input on Tai Chi. More actions like this could result in a happier, healthier population.
I “discovered” this video two days ago and I have been watching it since then. I’ll follow the doctor’s instructions and practice the exercise every day. I hope my health will be improved soon. Grateful thanks to Doctor Paul Lam for his easily understandable instructions!
Thank you Dr Lam I really enjoyed your video for arthritis. I have been feeling so much better. Tai Chi has improved my health. I only wish you had more video demos like the one for arthritis number one. Thanks again. Feeling better. 👍👍🇨🇦
Please go to the Tai Chi for Health Institute website tchi dot org and click articles, ask Dr Lam, there are four videos explaining What is Tai Chi, How to Learn it, and Is it a martial art. Let me know if they don't show answer to your question.
I was very fortunate to take this class for free at my local library some years back. It was great for focusing on my breathing, as well as helping my balance. I was suffering bouts of vertigo at the time. I was the youngest participant in the class, and even ran into my science teacher from junior high school who was taking the class as well. It was a fun group and the instructor was fantastic.
thanks letting me know, it is important to hear the introduction and how best to use my dvd especially for people who have not done my instructional dvd before.
In July 2017 we are planning to conductTai Chi for arthritis workshop in Sri Lanka (Kandy or Colombo). If you are interested pl. contact us kswalgama@gmail.com
I really enjoyed this my first time my bones were cracking and popping my back popped I could feel the energy .thank you Dr. Lam I love the way you explain things you make it so easy for me to understand thank you
Dr. Lam I recently learned about you and I look forward to reading your articles and following the Tai Chi Journey and recovery for my health and mental focus journey. Thank you.
Great work Dr. Paul, I've read with interest your articles in Tai Chi Magazine over the years. Great form, look forward to watching more of your videos. Mucho chi Doc.
This practice gives me immediate relief from lpain and instantly energize my body , I'm very thankful to you Dr Paul Lam and Ur team may Allah bless you
It's interesting to see how tai chi helps people because it seems too easy-to-use. One needs to learn the history and more information to appreciate the great use and benefits.
We are all different; Dr Lam strongly recommends you consult your health professional before embarking upon any exercise with a medical condition. It is impossible for a doctor to make a sound diagnosis and recommend treatment without seeing a patient face to face. Dr Lam would be prepared to supply information to your health professional on request. Dr Lam recommends you start with one of my Tai Chi for Health programs after approval from your health professional. All Tai Chi for Health programs including Tai Chi for Arthritis, Diabetes, Beginners and Rehabilitation are created for people with varying condition by Dr Lam together with medical and tai chi experts of the respective field. They are gentle, safe and easy-to-learn. Arthritis Foundation, Diabetes Australia and Osteoporosis Australia, and many health departments and organisations around the world supported the Tai Chi for Health programs. In USA, the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (www.CDC.gov) has recommended Tai Chi for Arthritis for fall prevention. These programs have been shown by medical studies to be effective and safe. Almost all people with most conditions are can learn and benefit from the programs. Dr Lam recommends learning from Tai Chi for Health Institute Board Certified instructors, are listed on the Tai Chi for Health Institute website www.taichiforhealthinstitute.org. You can find more information Ask Dr Lam, and get at free lessons here. The best wishes and positive energy for your health and wellness from Dr Lam.
Well explained & an improvement on my class in France......also this is dedicated to helping newly diagnosed arthritis sufferers, like myself..Should be very useful...
well I really like the explanations of the movements..listening to it already makes me very relaxed&also reminds me better how to move..thank you for that very much..I mostly do now Tai Chi at the end of the day just before sleeping, because in the morning I am simply to drowsy&clumsy, also mostly in a hurry..also for the exercises use another video for that, without any talking ;)
Glad I finally found this, used to be that you had to pay big 💰 for this sort of thing, but my current social security issues make that nearly impossible to do. I am 46 with Relapsing Polychondritis, I don't like to tell it usually but will here only because figure it might explain my situation better & someone can tell me if this is helpful for my circumstance. I'm at point where I've had a shoulder replacement years ago, but refuse to have my hip, knees, or other shoulder replaced too. I've got 11 completely deteriorated discs in spine, and only have cartilage left in left hip & left elbow, and condition is now attacking my trachea, floating ribs, sternum, nose, and inner & outer structure of ears. Yay 😂 But I need something that I can do so that I don't give up, and let atrophy set in with it's living death... I probably won't win the fight, just want to fight it for as long as I possibly can as well.
Many doctors around the world recommend their patients to use the Tai Chi for Arthritis programs, as it is also recommended by many arthritis foundations. It is very safe, but like any other activities, it is important to take appropriate care as recommended in my program. Best wishes Paul Lam
Thanks Valerie, I have so many reasons to be passionate about tai chi for health, starting from how it transform my health, and tai chi is enjoyable intrinsically.
Bless you Dr Paul Lam! I did these exercises while recooperating from my spinal problem crisis. I could barely move and it helped me move further than usual. I also felt I could stand up more straight and with better balance...My mother has arthritis and I want to share this video for her to help her 😀👍💪
The voice over on this one is clearly the same Australian guy as the others but he sounds MUCH better here. On the others he sounds like an excited used car salesman telling us about the latest unbeatable offer. very jarring next to Dr Lam's calm sincere voice.
Thanks for your comment, please focus on the tai chi. I do appreciate your ability to hear my enthusiasm on sharing tai chi, thank you for this. Tai chi also teaches us to be mindful of positive things.
In nature we need fastness and slowness to compliment like yin and yang, this world has been too fast, we need a balance. Tai chi has fast and slow movement, it has depth and inner meaning, fast track does not work as well. Give it a try.
Hello I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis I have started exercising with your video today n feel good...pls advise me...what are the exercise I should practice...thank u so so much....peace love n light to u 😊❤🙏❤❤❤
Dr. Lamb, there are not enough meaningful words in english to express my gratitude for you're videos. Very difficult too relax and create a positive and relaxing inner dialogue with one self and body. I watch you're video's every day and memorize you're movements, very soon I'll be able to order from you're web-site, thank you so very much. :)..!
I took Tai Chi in college, when I was in my early 20's. I was in very good shape and ran daily, still, my 89 year old instructor was in better shape then I was. I couldn't believe it! The slow movements build a lot of strength, so I do believe that it would be wonderful for young people to learn.
Thank you again Dr. Lam, It was an amazing experience to participate at your workshop "Tai Chi for Energy" in Toronto. I am looking forward for an workshop "Tai Chi for Arthritis" here in Toronto or close by.
Laurie, looking forward to meet you. Absolutely it is the principles of tai chi that delivers the magic, take a look at my article what is real tai chi on the Tai Chi for Health Institute's website.

I'm learning Tai Chi to get an insight as well of the benefits of its' Divine energy
Does this DVD imply any philosophical or religious aspects like that of Divine energy?
I have seen it. There could be some philosophical aspects, depending on how you define philosophy, but not religious.
Mary thanks for letting us know, so glad it helps. keep up with your practice.
Many thanks to Dr. Lam for his precious contribution to folk medicine

Excelentes imágenes del Taichi
Gracias.
Tq4 the video
Excellent!!!!
I wonder why there are very few young people in tai chi? isn't it good for us to practice it in order to prevent the elderly people's problems?
I think because young people want instant gratification. They bore easily unless they have a screen to stare at.
I took Tai Chi in college, when I was in my early 20's. I was in very good shape and ran daily, still, my 89 year old instructor was in better shape then I was. I couldn't believe it! The slow movements build a lot of strength, so I do believe that it would be wonderful for young people to learn.
Lesson 1 begins 16 minutes in.
Fantastic explained in so much detail I could follow easy thank you
16:42 lesson starts
Thank you again Dr. Lam,
It was an amazing experience to participate at your workshop "Tai Chi for Energy" in Toronto.
I am looking forward for an workshop "Tai Chi for Arthritis" here in Toronto or close by.
How much is for dvd for beginner and how far/ how much do I need to know ?
my parents are tai chi experts they have been feeding me tea since 1998
I have arthritis, Fibromyalgia and M/E. I am wondering which of your programs I should get...Tai Chi For Beginners or Tai Chi for Arthritis?
Laurie, looking forward to meet you. Absolutely it is the principles of tai chi that delivers the magic, take a look at my article what is real tai chi on the Tai Chi for Health Institute's website.
I did try to attach the link, but youtube deletes it. ... search for Dr Paul Lam Tai Chi for Arthritis, youtube, first free lesson.
