Tai Chi Eases Symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Study Finds - NYTimes.com: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Anything that gets people to slow down and relax in this society is a benefit to their health. Tai Chi is a wonderful series of movements that help physically, emotionally, and mentally. For some even spiritually. Movements are purposeful and breathing properly is very important to improving brain function and calming the body down.

Fibromyalgia is a very painful condition often without something solid to point to.  Doctors acknowledge the mental component, but unfortunately that gets translated as the patient having an emotional or mental problem.  They are either sent away or referred to a psychiatrist.

Tai Chi is a way to deal with fibromyalgia on many levels all at the same time.  And while it's helping with that it will also help your brain calm down and your heart beat better.  That in turn will have a very positive effect on your entire mind and body.
