Bibliography > Press Review
For centuries, Tai Chi Chuan has been practiced in Asia to improve well-being and reduce stress. Recently this discipline of body and mind has aroused the interest of Western researchers. A survey on research on Tai chi chuan, published in English from 1989 to today, highlights clinical studies including elderly subjects, patients with cardio vascular complications, patients with chronic diseases, and patients who could derive psychological benefits from the practice of Tai chi chuan. Only studies with elderly subjects and with patients with heart problems allow, by project and size, to draw conclusions on the efficacy of Tai chi chuan; while the others, involving a limited number of subjects, still provide limited information on the benefits of Tai chi chuan. At the same time the awareness is spreading that cancer patients present a multiplicity of needs related to physical recovery, risks for the cardiovascular system, psychological distress. Tai chi chuan can benefit these patients psychically and physically thanks to its dual aspect of meditation and exercise. Here is a selection of the aforementioned items:
