Aged Care: Chi and Parkinson’s Disease

By 2 Comments

ElderlySI had a very interesting conversation with a resident at an aged care centre during my Chair Chi workshop recently.

He said the 3 key Tai Chi techinques I teach helps him with his Parkinson’s disease. As I told him and others in the group, what I teach doesn’t cure but it helps. And he agreed.

No matter what Chi exercise I teach, I constantly emphasise that what I teach is not a cure but can help you feel better physically, emotionally and pyschologically. And when I ask residents (which includes high care residents) how they feel after a session, they usually say they feel much better.

Even those with Parkinson’s disease.

Well, it’s only a couple days away from my next Aged Care: Chair Chi Training Level 1 workshop.

I’m really looking forward to this workshop as I’ll be working with aged care staff who run activities for their low care and high care residents. I’ll be teaching staff how to run a Chair Chi workshop and one of the things I find enjoyable is the opportunity to share experiences about working with the elderly; a component of the workshop.
