Tai Chi for Back Pain | Every Day Tai Chi | Learn Tai Chi at Home

[@jegankandiah5877]

Thanks David for that bit at the end of the video when you talked about teaching it to a friend, now I can apply those same principles for my favourite moves!

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Perfect. (And you're welcome!)

[@setnote3117]

Dude, this is a hidden gem...not only the Tai Chi itself is excellente, but the movement itself seems to be imbued with David's humble energy. You can clearly see he is going for genuine humbleness and if you listen closely you will also feel it. So you're taking the journey from the ego to the heart. Alright. This is wonderful.

[@AR68BritMex]

I am a massage therapist, and I love Tai chi. And you are a master! Easy to follow, and easy accurate movements to teach my clients as well as for myself. Energy balance=mind and body balance. Thank you!!!

[@mellainenewman576]

Beautiful presentation. ! I love the graceful way you do your movements. Mellaine from Australia🙏😘many thanks.

Beautiful sneaky and fun ways to fill a squished up compacted stressed out spine with chi-joy. Nice tip for teaching needle at the bottom of the sea, too.

[@lizwilliams7266]

Like minded tai-chi-love person. Enjoy the flow of moves and I just give in to the music when my body just wants to sneak in a shashay! And I like the joy you emit while play-ing with the movement. Thank you!

[@cjane51]

I liked the movement and you did a good job leading through the various movements. I need to watch and try again. It felt good.

[@jacquihammond675]

Thank you so much for your tai chi for back pain. I had an operation on my back 6 years ago and felt it was recurring, i really did not want another op so started looking for alternatives. I started tai chi at home about 5 months ago and practice daily. My doctor advised me to try tai chi specifically for back pain. I feel so much better and the pain in my back and leg has gone. Thank you again.

[@ej4478]

Excellent tai-chi for my lower back pain. I go to chiropractor but still back pain, Taichi helps me a lot. Thank you so much,. USA follower

[@DavidDorianRoss]

I'm glad it helps!

[@salennaskiles23]

I have very poor coordination and balance. But with this being easy flowing, makes it where I can even do it. And it is helping with my stiffness!

[@maureyberdoy428]

Love this and love the choice of music too x

[@tammyg9223]

I loved the smooth flow and the gentle guidance and most important that it felt sooo good. The sharing tips at the end are gold.

[@stampinsueduffy]

Still catching up with you. I could, indeed, feel his relieve some tension in my lower back! Thank you!

[@LA-tv1zv]

Thanks David for the beautiful and happy energy you are creating and teaching us. I started training Jiu Jitsu again, and I am not able to do many of the warm up aerobic exercises because of weak back muscles. last night, I had to come home and was in a lot of pain, could not continue with the training. I have used your Tai Chi class today and I already feeling much better. I will practice your tai Chi every day so I can get the qi going. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@tombarry1959]

[@jegankandiah5877]

Dave I appreciate the sunny backdrop, I think I will recommend this to my brother now I have tried it

[@howarde2785]

Thank you David; wonderful session. 68 year old retired high school PE teacher; and I still sub sometimes for my colleagues who are still teaching. Looking forward to having one of my classes do some Tai Chi as part of our daily warm ups.

[@GhostofaSiren]

I've been having terrible back pain for weeks, and this actually helped a lot. Going to keep doing it.

[@GhostofaSiren]

Still helping!

[@jeffreyyounger5772]

Dave, you are off the chains as , man you rock!I'm recovery from my back pain! God bless you 🙏 , sir!!!

[@johnryan4104]

Truly enjoyed your session had a bit of humour nice to see and something that works with a 😊of of course and you have a a win win you are very flowing in your movement and even if I am standing still and you are moving I feel the chi moving in me so happy and lighter in every move and breath thanks a bit off humour with respect of course in the place at the right time brings a smile and you know what gonna happen yep your right. 😊🙏♋

[@stampinsueduffy]

This one just popped up today, so I followed you and hope you see this comment. I have lower back pain, but much worse is arthritis in my neck/upper spine (diagnosed) and I have extremely limited head rotation without pain. Are any of your wonderful videos aimed at helping head and neck issues? I just saw one pop up in the sidebar that says "Upper Body Chi" - I will try that, as well. Thank you, David - your videos have been a lifesaver, especially since our gyms are all closed right now (although I was following you before that).

[@wonderwagon3304]

I love this flow! I've followed it several times and it really works for back pain. Thank you also for your explanation of how these moves encourage the chi flow to affected areas. That answered some questions that I had.

[@christineagosta5823]

Love your training videos and your specific teaching moments. Thank you

[@pokuspilatus]

just started to do this warming up because I have a lot of low back pain, in particular the right SI. Thanks for sharing, nice to warm things up, and makes me realize that I do miss my old Tai Chi classes. Will do this exercises again tomorrow morning, home bound, so that should work :)

[@nikkibutterfly98]

That was amazing! Calming, soothing, flowing. I'm already moving better! Thank you so much! x

[@alazureshadowstar3937]

Can you please do a do a video for Tai Chi when you are getting ready for bed, and in the mornings

[@OstaraSol]

This is wonderful, thank you for this

[@chitralima2208]

How do you feel now Ostara

[@jamiecee4960]

Loved this one. I felt it in my lower back and my left shoulder and neck. Definitely going to keep doing this one. :) Easy movements.

[@chitralima2208]

Hey how do you feel now?

[@LindaJones1]

Oh My Gosh - this really made my back feel so much better. Thank you :)

[@chitralima2208]

How do you feel now Linda?

[@annatabor7992]

Love your approach

[@cdfreester]

I love the Hawaiian slack-key guitar music. It's so relaxing and goes well with the movements.

[@injakim7997]

It's GREAT to know "YOU ARE HEAR/LISTEN". I watched video on knee issue on my iPhone, thanks. [ I couldn't find on computer you tube yet] ?. I still like to learn what movements are benefits more/better & what not to do/try.....etc. * I have been watch Jake Mace for few years, & suddenly I found you & Jake made video together & it was shock of my day, competitor(?) work together(?). It was very nice to watch. Actually I wrote to jake/company & ignored or lost?...there it scares-ed me to take lessons on line, give them money.....etc. I still feel positive, one of these days I can be use/trust to with on line lessons. Just I don't have control & get lost is the problems[words I don't like]. Thankful that you guys share videos on line/you tube.

[@suzielee7058]

Thank you very much!

[@jolynnfitzgerald221]

I am conviced that Tai Chi will help to ease my low back pain. Sending you warm greetings from Zagreb, Croatia, Europe. :)

[@nettacutsmith1971]

Wow! I loved this you made it easy and fun to do, I really enjoyed doing Tai Chi. I have been having trouble with my back and after trying it I felt a little better and got some good sleep, so thank you:)

[@chitralima2208]

Thank u😎❤😎😁

[@jegankandiah5877]

Thank you David for the bit at the end of the video where you just talked about tai chi which is funnily enough why I fell in love with tai chi. I try to practise daily. U suggesting I should do it more? I would love to hear from you, jeganK

[@katlewis4148]

So sharing with my bestie, looking forward to the "knee" one.. but can tell you after doing yard work for 3 days for hours.. my knees were bothering me.. but did some tai chi..and pain gone..

[@jumpingchi8921]

What a sweet session!

[@beckylynn6128]

I loved this!

[@jillb5405]

Hi from 🇬🇧 great lesson David thanks

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Jill thank you so much - glad you like it! There are some newer sessions on the channel too - let me know if you enjoy them as well. :-)

[@ΚωσταντίνοςΧατζηαθανασίου]

hello David,can someone get course for veterans from Europe and more specific from Greece and he should be able to give them course video lessons??

[@tyronetaylor2866]

My lower back have been hurting since yesterday to the point that I have to take pain medicine. It was too sore this morning until I followed this exercise. I feel much better while standing and bending. But once I sat down to type this comment I started to feel some tightness. Any suggestions? Thanks for the video, it was extremely helpful and informative at the end.

[@elviralambiase6211]

I LIKE YOUR METHOD OF TEACHING,VERY CLEAR , BUT I CAN'T PRACTICE EVERYDAY SO I STILL HAVE BAK PAIN,THANKS YOU VERY MUCH

[@lefrank44]

I loved it.

[@injakim7997]

I am glad to hear "TC for back pain" since it's common word I hear from my peers & I plan /intent to share. Also Knee pain is another popular Pain. beside peoples are pain too, not listening well?!.

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Inja, you've given me an idea for another class: Tai Chi for knee pain. In fact, a lot of people have knee pain, and many are worried that they'll get knee pain from Tai Chi. Stay tuned for the next video about this... thanks for the inspiration! :-)

[@injakim7997]

Hi there. Thank your reading. Where I go to TC-class, mainly Qi Gong, 2-ladies just registered [ one is 65, other one 77, one more-over weight one ], both for back & Knee problems. They do what we all do like copy-cat, & I always wonder how it will work. There have to be a certain way? or ?. If you can show/tell us what/why/how?, it will be very helpful for many, & me to help others. Thanks DDR.

[@tedniedzielak3741]

Thank you, David-Dorian! I found you through Great Courses Essentials of Tai Chi & Qigong. I appreciate your patient, light-hearted teaching style. You've inspired me to sign up for a Tai Chi class at my old college. I'm currently reading your book, "Exercising the Soul". Can you recommend any further reading pertaining to applying Tai Chi principles to stressful Western life? BTW, Tai Chi has been helping me with my chronic back pain, as well as, my anxiety level. I'm already noticeably calmer and more relaxed even though I've been playing Tai Chi for only a few weeks. Peace!

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Dear Ted, Thank you for your kind comments. I'm so glad that Tai Chi is helping with your back - and with looking at life with a Tai Chi philosophy! I would recommend any book or video by Paul Read, aka The Teapot Monk. He is funny, artistic and I think captures the heart of original Tai Chi thought. Good Luck - and please come join my class sometime. I offer free classes online (live) every Monday morning - or you would be most welcome as a guest in one of my regular Academy classes. Just let me know and I will send you a link!

[@tedniedzielak3741]

Great, thanks! I think I'll start with "The Manuel of Bean Curd Boxing:..." which was in the bibliography of The Great Courses guidebook. Yes, I'd be most interested in taking a class. By all means, please send me the link! I just did about 30 minutes of Tai Chi and ready for more. It's so relaxing!

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Awesome! Love to have you try out a class. Here's our schedule: Monday: Forms class (right now we're learning the Yang 16) 3:30pm Pacific Wednesday: Beginners class. Just started but anyone can join anytime. Basic, fun introduction 3:30pm Pacific Thursday: Fan class. Just started new routine (we just finsihed 32 sword) 11am Pacific Sunday: 2-hour Advanced class. 7am Pacific Let me know which class you'd like to attend, and I'll send you a link to join. Looking forward to seeing you. Cheers, David-Dorian

[@tedniedzielak3741]

Hi David-Dorian, I'd like to try the Beginners Class on Wed at 3:30 Pacific. I've primarily been doing a VERY simplified Tai Chi called, Tai Chi Chih (by Justin Stone) which I learned on PBS while working in other Tai Chi moves that I've been learning. We have here in Chicago, the Taoist Tai Chi Society that offers lessons too, which I've been considering as well. Thank you for this opportunity to study with you! Looking forward to it, Peace!!

[@DavidDorianRoss]

Ted can you do me a favor? Email me directly at [e-mail] and I will send you the link to Wednesday's class. Looking forward to seeing you!

[@LenLicata]

Hi David....just completed my second attempt at your back pain session and must admit feeling pretty good. 68 yr old male diagnosed with arthritis of the back and spine...what's your take on acupuncture along with tai chi to manage this condition ?
