It was reported that a physician has arthritis for 10 years. He went to China and learned to practice Tai Chi.
Tai Chi helped his arthritis. So he went back to his country and started a Tai Chi research center.
There is a heated debate about the physical therapist teaching Tai Chi may do more harm than good.
One poster cited that he had to do standing practices for months for Yun Shou or cloud hands before getting all the moves right. If a Tai Chi novelist or newbie teaching patients Tai Chi without knowing all the ins and outs of correct body structure may actually detriment patients' health since they do not have the normal range of motions around all joints or spine alignment due to illness.
Even a healthy and normal or fit person may injure himself or herself when practicing Tai Chi without proper instructions from a qualified teacher.
