Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Qi gong and tai chi practices have been found to improve relaxation and reduce stress, increase flexibility, and improve balance. These practices also improve muscle strength, range of motion, and prevent falls in older adults. There is limited evidence to suggest that qi gong and tai chi can relieve pain, and improve sensory acuity. However, there is no evidence to suggest that these practices decrease immune system responses. The benefits observed in these practices are not considered to be placebo responses.
