I've actually known several PWPs who have tried Tai Chi and they loved it. Actually, any exercise method that an individual will enjoy will more likely keep him doing it on a regular basis - whether it be Tai Chi, water aerobics, bike riding, karate (yes, I know several PD patients who have taken karate lessions) or even square dancing. The slow, stretching movements of Tai Chi can be very helpful but may be difficult for a PWP with balance problems.
