Summary

As a traditional martial art in China, Tai Chi Chuan has excellent health benefits along with its combat function.Studies have shown that Tai Chi as an exercise prescription can significantly reduce the incidence of cancer, but the complexity of Tai Chi Chuan routines, poor disease targeting, and the lack of traditional internal mental and physical training method limit the healing of tumours and other diseases. For this reason, we have established the Medical Tai Chi Exercise Healing System（MTCEH）, which integrates Tai Chi exercise, traditional Chinese internal mental and physical training method, rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine methods, on the basis of evidence-based medicine and with the aim of targeting different tumour treatments. With the characteristics of easily learning, internal and external training, and individualised treatment of tumours, this series of routines effectively combines traditional oriental Tai Chi martial arts with tumour treatment, which opens up a beautiful and mysterious oriental healing journey for integrative medicine.

BEHAVIORAL

7-Form of Medical Tai Chi Exercise Healing for Colon cancer patients

The programme is based on the "7-Form of Medical Tai Chi Exercise Healing for Colon cancer patients" that lasted 60 minutes three times a week for eight weeks and is led by a Tai Chi instructor with more than 5 years of teaching experience. Each session included a warm-up, movement instruction, breathing techniques, and relaxation. To ensure that each participant is proficient in Tai Chi, they will take at least 2 sessions of 60-minute Tai Chi training before the start of the intervention, until they are able to perform all Tai Chi movements correctly and successfully, and record a video to be used in software for practice at home. The enrolled patients, Tai Chi instructors and relevant staff of the subject group set up a WeChat group, and the enrolled patients, outside of the prescribed practice time each week, can practice at home or outdoors by themselves. They can send the video of the practice to the WeChat group.
