Tai Chi is a practice of moving through a series of motions slowly and in a controlled manner to improve balance and flexibility. Ayurveda is practiced primarily in the Indian subcontinent and includes diet, herbal remedies, and massage. Reiki is the Japanese health belief that when spiritual energy is channeled through a Reiki practitioner, the client's spirit is healed, subsequently healing the physical body. Biofeedback helps clients become more aware of their physiology and allows them to gain more control over certain body functions like blood pressure and muscle tension.
