Rehab

I train with tai chi to rehab poor posture and body mechanics that were habituated before MS, and amplified by MS and natural aging. I am changing but it is slooooow, incremental and long term. Reinventing my body becomes more and more important as I use tai chi to guide new adjustments to my progressing MS.

As I continually readjust the way I walk, even slight changes in body mechanics and posture enable the tai chi movements to translate into movement with less effort. The Three Nail training continues and has become one of my walking cues, assisting my elephant-heavy left leg, and reducing the tendency to foot drag.
