Current Research Project: T’ai Chi and Qigong for Smoking Cessation and Stress Management in Cancer Patients

Starting in September, in collaboration with the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we are investigating how T’ai Chi and Qigong can aid in smoking cessation,  reducing patient anxiety from cancer diagnosis and treatment, improving physical function and post-cancer-treatment side-effects.

Recent Past Research Project: T’ai Chi and Qigong for Back Pain

In collaboration with the Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian at the Weill Cornell Medicine Center for Comprehensive Spine Care and New York Medical College, our research demonstrated significant improvements in pain relief, pain-related function, sleep, and quality of life for people with back pain through T’ai Chi and Qigong. Based on these positive outcomes, we launched our successful spine program.
