Parkinson’s disease chips away at movement—walking slows, balance falters, and falls loom large.
But a new study in the European Journal of Medical Research shows that a centuries-old practice can make a real difference.
Researchers analyzed 13 trials with over 1,000 Parkinson’s patients.
The results were clear: Tai Chi improved balance, steadied gait, and lowered the risk of falls.
People walked faster, turned more smoothly, and took longer strides.
Even more, they reported better daily function and quality of life.
Tai Chi trains posture, weight shifting, and slow, controlled movement—all of which directly counter Parkinson’s stiffness and tremors.
It also relaxes muscles and sharpens body awareness, which can ease rigidity.
Some scientists believe it even supports the brain’s ability to adapt, an important factor in degenerative diseases.
Unlike strenuous workouts, Tai Chi is safe for older adults and those with advanced symptoms.
Dropouts were rare, and side effects were virtually nonexistent.
That makes it one of the most accessible ways to stay active with Parkinson’s.
No, it won’t cure the disease. But practiced regularly—at a community class or at home—Tai Chi helps restore independence, mobility, and confidence.
For many, it opens up life again instead of narrowing it.
When it comes to Parkinson’s, exercise isn’t enough.
