Shoulder....Venting

[rebeccaC]

In talking to Alex about this tonight we’d recommended starting with Lam Kam Chuen’s book ‘Step by Step Tai Chi’ to get an introduction/understanding of the principles of Tai Chi and its movements before a class or video. Having that base of understanding would especially allow you to get more out of going to a first class. A good instructor can then offer customized feedback, support and make sure your form is correct and effective. Plus...perhaps you could also have positive interactions with and support from others in a class.

Alex found the (Irvington Wellness Center) in Indianapolis if that’s close to you or perhaps call them and ask about closer classes. Chris Pei’s ‘Tai Chi for Beginners’ is a good video but a second choice to a class. Hoping others can also give you some recommendations too.

and thanks for giving us a good conversation tonight

Thanks so much Rebecca! I do know about the Irvington Wellness Center - they just don't seem to return calls... I've also asked a former TaiChi instructor who now does something else to see if she has suggestions.

I finally saw my MRI report today. The superspinitis tendon tear is a full-thickness tear, and somehow I've managed to wind up with a longtitudional split tear of the long head of the biceps tendon. How does one even DO that? Leave it to me So....I'm changing and headed to the back room to play with kettlebells. Carefully...
