Overview

Tai Chi as Therapeutic Medicine challenges how we think about care when cure is no longer possible. As chronic illness, aging, and neurological disease reshape modern healthcare, medicine increasingly confronts a simple question: how do we help people live well within limitation? Drawing on Chinese Medicine, Western clinical research, and real-world care settings, this book explains why Tai Chi has emerged as one of the most effective non-pharmacological therapies of our time. Far from a wellness trend, Tai Chi is revealed here as medicine-in-movement-training balance, coordination, breath, and confidence where pharmaceuticals reach their limits. Written with clinical clarity and ethical seriousness, this book is essential reading for healthcare professionals, administrators, and anyone seeking humane, effective responses to the realities of chronic care. This book differs from: Tai Chi ""how-to"" manuals (too technical, not clinical) Integrative medicine anthologies (too broad) Research compendia (too dense, not coherent) Wellness books (insufficient rigor) It occupies a space similar in seriousness to works on non-pharmacological care and aging, but with a clear therapeutic thesis and institutional relevance.
