by Chris Cinnamon
The Doctor Recommended Exercise System for Seniors
Chicago, IL, August 3, 2023 - Wellness expert, Tai Chi instructor, and author Chris Cinnamon has launched his new book, Tai Chi for Balance: How to Stay on Your Feet and Avoid Falls. The book provides a step-by-step, Tai Chi-based exercise system to help older adults avoid falls and the debilitating injuries that result.
Falls are the #1 cause of injury in older adults, sending 3 million to the emergency room annually in the US. Science shows that Tai Chi is the most effective exercise for preventing falls. In his new book, Chris Cinnamon guides the reader through his Tai Chi for Balance System, a step-by-step program designed to help adults strengthen legs and hips, improve body awareness and posture, and avoid falls.
According to Mr. Cinnamon, “I’ve taught Tai Chi for Balance for several years. Simply put, it works. People go through the course, and I watch them become more stable, secure, and confident on their feet. I'm excited to share the program with a wider audience through my new book.”
Tai Chi for Balance includes access to online videos, providing a complete program for older adults. It is also a resource for medical professionals, personal trainers, instructors, caregivers, and adult children of older adults. The book offers tools, strategies, and a complete Tai Chi-based exercise system to help patients, students, clients, and loved ones avoid falls.
Tai Chi for Balance has received high praise from doctors, medical researchers, and health aging experts. Dr. Jinny Tavee, Chief of Neurology, National Jewish Health, recommends Tai Chi for Balance as "a wonderful resource for my patients." Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, author of Food and Fitness after 50, labels it a "must-read for all adults over 60." Kharma Foucher, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Illinois at Chicago, says Tai Chi for Balance is "well researched and easy to read with clear explanations of both the exercises and the underlying science. This book will be an outstanding resource for anyone concerned about falling."
