Anyone try Tai Chi to help with neuropathy and balance?

Yes, I do Tai Chi twice a week and am supposed to practice at home. I am sure this is why I have not fallen. Tai Chi forces you to use both sides of the body. It is a challenge to the brain and body and is a continuing journey as the forms get harder and harder. I enjoy taking a Tai Chi class as we are all dealing with idividual aches and pains but still keep laughing. We have a very skilled instructor that explains the chinese history and language which is applied. I encourage everyone to find a class. This should be a prescription from all neurologists who have PN patients.

I am 86 and find Tai Chi very helpful, Many local Senior Centers have free classes. You can also check YOUTUBE. I also recommend
Qigong. I do 3 days a week with Lee Holden at $39.00 a month. Look him up on Youtube as well. I am very flexible and believe both are beneficial.

Does the pressure on the bottom of your feet from standing during Tai Chi aggravate the nerve pain?
