Tai Chi Eases Fybromyalgia Symptoms

Researchers at the Tufts Medical Centre in Boston have released a study in which patients with Fybromyalgia gained considerable relief from their symptoms when doing Tai Chi, a Chinese form of martial arts.

33 patients attended the Tai Chi classes and 33 attended a wellness and stretching program twice a week for 12 weeks. Results were published in the New England Medical Journal of Medicine.

It found that the Tai Chi group improved much more that the wellness and stretching group. It was reported that the Tai Chi group also slept better and had less pain and depression.
