Tai Ji Quan, Moving for Better Balance

Tai Ji Quan, Moving for Better Balance is a community-based fall prevention program developed by Dr. Fuzhong Li at the Oregon Research Institute. It adapts traditional tai chi into eight forms designed to build lower-body strength, improve balance, and increase confidence in walking. The CDC and the National Council on Aging both recognize it as an evidence-based fall prevention program. In Washington, classes are offered through senior centers, libraries, AAAs, and community partners.
