Quality Matters
Some (or all!) of the following can contribute to pain: mental and physical tension, poor foot placement, body alignment and/or mechanics, insufficient strength, flexibility, and even sleep.
Relieve and prevent recurrence of pain by practicing stillness (standing, sitting, and lying down) and selected movements.
These have multiple benefits and take time to actualize. Deeply explore both stillness and movement that you know. Only add new movements carefully and slowly.
This can be a very efficient and effective way to both relieve pain and advance in t’ai chi and qigong learning.
