Tai Chi for Arthritis:
Caution!! Remember to move, and do only that is safe and comfortable for you to do.
The benefit is NOT in doing the exact movement as you see, but rather, moving safely, smoothly and as continuously as you can.
Adapt the risky moves (like the 'Heel Kicks', and instead, only touch your foot to the ground.)
