Tai Chi for Healing and Recovery: Simple, Adapted Exercises and Visualization for Patients in Bed, Chair, or Rehab, at Home or in Care Facilities
Discover a Gentle Path to Healing, Strength, and Peace
Are you recovering from illness, injury, or surgery — or caring for someone who is? Tai Chi for Healing and Recovery offers a compassionate, practical guide to gentle movement designed for patients with limited mobility. Whether in a hospital bed, a recliner, a wheelchair, or at home, these adapted Tai Chi routines bring comfort, confidence, and calm to every stage of recovery.
Inside you’ll discover how to:
- Practice safely in bed, chair, or wheelchair — no standing required
- Adapt movements for stroke, TBI, or hemiparesis using visualization and micro-motions
- Harness breathing and mental rehearsal to activate the mind–body connection
- Improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and ease pain with simple, flowing exercises
- Relieve stress and anxiety through relaxation routines and mindfulness techniques
- Support caregivers and therapists with clear guidance for safe encouragement
Rooted in centuries-old Tai Chi traditions but carefully adapted for modern healing, this book blends gentle exercise, breathing, and visualization into a holistic approach to recovery. Each chapter is designed to meet you exactly where you are, so that even the smallest movement becomes a meaningful step forward.
Whether you are a patient or caregiver, at home or in a care facility, this guide offers more than exercise — it’s a pathway to renewed mobility, emotional balance, and inner peace.
Embrace the flow of Tai Chi today — and take your next step toward recovery.
