Doctors love Chi Force!
"Talk therapy is overrated. I send my clients over to Ren because I believe there is a bottom up approach where your mind improves from the clarity you get from Tai Chi, and feeling strong, and more at home in your body."
"When you are out of acute pain, and want to prevent it from happening again, you've got to make changes in your life, and Tai Chi is the perfect way to do that. It's a whole body exercise, and if you suspend your disbelief and give it time to go forward, you almost never have come back for injections."
