                <![CDATA[It isn&#8217;t every day that an effective new treatment for some Parkinson&#8217;s disease symptoms comes along. Especially one that is safe, causes no adverse side effects, and may also benefit the rest of the body and the mind. That&#8217;s why a report in the New England Journal of Medicine showing that tai chi may improve balance and prevent falls among people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease is so exciting. This and earlier studies are significant because they suggest that tai chi can be used as an add-on to current physical therapies and medications to ease some of the key problems faced by people with Parkinson&#8217;s disease. Since the appearance of the New England Journal of Medicine study, tai chi classes specifically for Parkinson&#8217;s disease patients have sprung up across the country, and the benefits of tai chi for Parkinson&#8217;s disease have been endorsed by the National Parkinson&#8217;s Foundation.]]>
