Evidence-based Tai Chi for Health, Fall Prevention & Chronic Condition Rehab
Exercise Medicine Australia
Chronic conditions are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Over 30 randomised control trials have demonstrated that Tai Chi significantly improves a wide range of clinical parameters of chronic conditions including functional abilities, overall mental and physical health, and quality of life for chronic condition patients. There is also compelling evidence that Tai Chi is effective in improving postural control and balance and preventing fall, the leading cause of injury-related deaths and injury-related hospitalizations in the elderly population. Based on compelling research evidence, informed by exercise science and guided by exercise prescription principles and safety guidelines, the Clinical Tai Chi for Rehabilitation Program and the Tai Chi for Health and Fall Prevention Program, jointly developed by Exercise Medicine Australia and Exercise Medicine International, are designed to improve muscle strength and endurance; reduce deconditioning effect; restore motion range and mobility; regain postural stability and balance; prevent functional decline, disability and fall; reduce clinical symptoms; achieve physical and mental health recovery; regain functional abilities and independence; and improve the quality of life. The courses are/were accredited or supported by national and international professional governing bodies including Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA), AUSactive, Australian & New Zealand Falls Prevention Society and Australian Physiotherapy Association. Upon completion of a course, enrolees will receive 15 CEC/CPDs for professional development and certification to teach/practice the programs. The professional development courses for physiotherapists and other allied health practitioners and exercise professionals focus on step-by-step teaching and practice of the movements and exercise science underpinning the movements. It is easy to learn and practice. The courses are available in self-paced online learning; live training on Zoom and face-to-face training.
