Delmanor Northtown Demonstrates the Benefits of Tai Chi

Delmanor Northtown held a Tai Chi demonstration on February 24th as an introduction to their fitness program.  Tai Chi combines a type of meditative relaxation process with flowing movements, that result in benefits to both the power of the body and the mind.

Tai Chi is especially beneficial to seniors who suffer from arthritis or who are recovering from injuries since it is very low impact and puts minimal pressure on joints and tendons.

Residents and welcomed guests worked on improving their range of motion, flexibility and balance.  Although low impact, the seniors would benefit from improved cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure with regular participation.  The addition of Tai Chi is proving to be an excellent compliment to the many other exciting programs taking place at Delmanor Northtown.
