Tai Chi Has Similar or Greater Benefits

Than Aerobic Exercise for Fibromyalgia,

Study Shows

  

Tai chi results in similar or greater improvement in fibromyalgia symptoms when compared to aerobic exercise, according to a new study from Tufts University and Brown University. 

Aerobic exercise, a core part of standard fibromyalgia treatment, is the most commonly prescribed non-drug treatment for the disorder, which can involve widespread pain, tenderness, fatigue, and other symptoms.

Findings from the new study, however, suggest that tai chi is another therapeutic option. The study, partially funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), was published in the BMJ.

BAODING BALLS: 

 

First crafted in the 1300s in Baoding, China, Chinese 

exercise balls were made to promote hand strength, 

dexterity, relaxation, and overall health. 

 

Some exercise balls are solid while others are hollow. The

hollow versions are manufactured with internal chimes; one

with a high tone and one with a low tone in a pair. The purpose 

of the chimes is to send yin and yang vibrations through the 

hands to help promote healing, chi circulation, 

and relaxation throughout the body.

 

The skill of being able to rotate the balls in the palm, without 

the balls touching, is a level of achievement and advancing 

ability indicative of increased hand strength and agility.
