A few other benefits noted by tai chi practitioners:

Physical benefits

1. Increased flexibility - particularly in the often forgotten spine. Maintenance of flexibility in spinal joints is 'oh so important'.

3. Increased strength, particularly of the leg muscles 4. Better balance, fewer falls

5. Improved posture

6. Improved immune functioning. (Why? Mental stillness and reduced stress help immune function, as does exercise.)
