Chronic Pain Management
Elevate yourself from the grips of chronic and persistent pain with Taiji (Tai Chi). Taiji is an ancient Chinese martial art that has been incorporated into western medicine for its ability to prevent frailty. Taiji also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system like yoga, with the additional benefit by doing so during movement. Taiji achieves this by autonomic nervous system harmonization, improved circulation and reduced cortisone levels. Additionally, Taiji has shown to improve stress management, promote mobility, enhance cognitive function and reduce disability.
Shane Kachur of the Elevated Taiji Centre in Hamilton has over 40 years of experience in the Chinese martial arts and has contributed to the scientific uses of Taiji in healthcare. Additionally, he has 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist (now retired) and received a master’s degree from the University of Regina studying how fear of pain perpetuates pain intensity and disability.
Combining these approaches provide an opportunity to understand and manage pain from its source; learn how to set goals on reclaiming life, return to activity and how to increase endurance with those activities.
