“The skills that I have acquired from Margy Emerson in her T’ai Chi for Back Pain class have become an integral part of my pain management program. Learning ways to move my body safely and how to focus on something other than my discomfort have been invaluable. My only regret is that I didn’t find out about her and her program sooner.”
~Alyssa Stamm, age 28 -- Auto accident victim

“I started studying T’ai Chi because a friend with sciatica swore it was the only thing that kept her functional, and I haven’t been disappointed. Not only does the practice keep my arthritic back limber, it actually reduces the amount of pain I’m feeling any day I practice. All this while nourishing the spirit!”
~Caroline, age 55

“I enjoy taking Margy Emerson’s T’ai Chi for Back Pain class. It has improved my balance and coordination and has made me aware of little things that have helped keep me from reinjuring my back.”
~John McBrearty

“Having suffered for the past 10 years from both upper and lower back pain, I find that my balance is improved, my pain level is lowered, and I sleep much better after Margy Emerson’s T’ai Chi class.”
~Gayle S., age 55

“T’ai Chi has been good for my body and my mind by increasing flexibility and balance in both!”
~Lauren Dusek, age 31

“Margy does an amazing job of teaching the moves and the ideas to students of all levels. The subtle stretches and breathing techniques always leave me feeling better and more relaxed. The gentle stretching and strength-building make my back feel much better. Taking an hour out of a busy day to do T’ai Chi with Margy and the other students is definitely worth it!”
~Christine Champe, age 42

“Tai Chi for Back Pain and Arthritis is right for me. It has improved my balance, helped me to warm up to reduce pain, and improved my flexibility.”
~Tom, age 79

“I recently injured my sciatic nerve. Walking and moving were very painful. The only time I didn’t hurt was during practice in Margy’s T’ai Chi for Back Pain class. Now, 3 weeks later, I have no pain. I am grateful for this class.”
