New Analysis Underscores Taiji’s Benefits to Balance and Mobility

Taijiquan practitioners have long understood the value of Taiji training for balance and mobility. Yang Laoshi, for instance, provides a nice overview of potential benefits of training in Chapter 7 of his book Taijiquan: The Art of Nurturing, the Science of Power. Most longtime practitioners have a very deep and nuanced understanding of how Taiji supports their well-being, and now medical science is starting to contribute to this conversation in its own way through the publication of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
