The Dragon's Head Blog: Arthritis Awareness
My arthritis is called ankylosing spondylitis and it affects my spine. When the inflammation is happening, it’s very painful.
I’ve been doing Taoist Tai Chi™ arts ever since I was first diagnosed, and that’s what I mostly use to manage the pain. It keeps me moving … and if I don’t move, I seize up. My health keeps getting better, so I keep doing it!
