from Health Professionals about our courses

1-day Course

“Tutor was excellent. The practical was extremely useful and the theory clearly explained.”
“The course content was well-balanced, with good development of ideas.” Barnsley PCT, Feb 09

“Very relevant to all areas of physiotherapy – excellent to experience T’ai Chi personally, then learn underlying principles and how to apply to different patients.”
“It gave me more awareness of my own body and feelings and I think patients, especially my wheelchair-users would find it stimulating and be able to participate well.”
Warwickshire PCT, Feb 08

“Really liked the principles of mind, body, breath – very relevant to my patient group.”
“I like the fact that it was not too prescriptive, but with emphasis on the principles.”
“Showed how patients can use this for themselves for self-improvement”
“Really feel stimulated and enthusiastic about trying it in the workplace, but also motivated to find a class for myself”
Macclesfield, Mar 08

“I feel I have some awareness now and feel these are principles which can easily be incorporated into clinical practice.”
“Lots of new ideas to add to what I already know.”
“I now have confidence to try some of the practical aspects.”
“Really enjoyed the day and am looking forward to the 4-day course.” Agile Course, Cumbria 06

4-day Course

“Whilst I have had previous T’ai Chi training, these sessions have been more enlightening and clear. I have already introduced some principles into my sessions and will use more.”
“I found the variety of exercises very useful and found that the slower they are, the more effective.”
Walsall Extend May 08

“Lots of ideas - and feel I have been given “permission” to develop ideas and try modifications.”
“I realised that, as long as I keep to the principles, I can play with movements.”
“Small group work, sharing ideas with colleagues, was very productive as was the Case Study – application of exercises to practice.”
“The time between courses gave time to think about what we had learned and experiment, before consolidating on Weekend 2.”
Hereford Feb 09

“Excellent course, wonderfully adapted to suit our client base. I feel I can go straight into this at work – no need for extra resources, reliance on care staff etc.
Great variety / diversity of use for one-to-one sessions or group work”
“Liked the carry-over into functional activities.”
“Thankyou for re-awakening my Chi! Wonderful to see how we can adapt for our users.”
