I have Tai Chi close to No. 1 on my list of Things to Look Into. I heard only the other day that my local Parks & Rec will soon resume the Tai Chi classes they had had to abandon when Covid came to town.

@ray666,

The doctor probably did not give you any exercises as he does not yet know what your diagnosis will be. However, Tai Chi is a great exercise program for balance issues. It is highly recommended by doctors for Parkinson's and other balance problems.

It is good that the COVID crisis is beginning to lift so that group exercise programs like Tai Chi can get back into the community schedule.

I have done Tai Chi both with YouTube videos and in classes prior to the pandemic. I hope you find it helpful. Most people with back/balance problems find it gentle, relaxing, and a great exercise routine.

Here is a link to one of the Don Fiore YouTube videos with a 20 minute Tai Chi program,
