Another study indicated that people who practice tai chi regularly have higher bone mineral density and better flexibility, muscle strength and balance.When people with osteoporosis fall they are more likely to sustain a fracture. Many studies have shown that tai chi reduces falls.
People with osteoporosis often have arthritis, loss of function due to age and weakness. Tai Chi relieves pain from arthritis, improves balance and the ability to do daily activities.
