Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act Emphasizes Prevention

September 30, 2013 Posted by Christopher Carlow, D. Ac. Tai Chi

The changes in health insurance coming with the new Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act (PPACA) sometimes known as Obamacare places emphasis on prevention for patients, health insurance companies and providers. The Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi program being evidence-based and promoted by the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control) has a lot to offer as an effective and preventive practice for managing health.

In February of 2013 a public health advisor with the CDC wrote to Dr Paul Lam (developer of the Tai Chi program) about guidelines being promoted for Tai Chi as an exercise form to prevent falls among older adults. “We are promoting your tai chi programs since you have established manuals and instructor trainings nationwide.”

I’ve provided a reference link below for more information on tai chi and it’s benefits for fall prevention.
