Tai Chi School Of Westchester  Announces Instructor Nicola Briggs Will Present An Abstract At The
15Th International Aids Conference In Bangkok, Thailand
 
NEW YORK, NY and BANGKOK, Thailand - April 27, 2004  /Send2Press Newswire/ -- The Tai Chi School of
Westchester in Bronxville, New York announces that Head Instructor Nicola Briggs will be presenting
her abstract :  "The use of Tai Chi as a therapeutic modality to improve the quality of life in
persons living with AIDS and substance abuse"  at the 15th International AIDS Conference in
Bangkok, Thailand July 12-16, 2004.

Ms. Briggs will be presenting her abstract with the assistance of instructors Dr. James Horne and
Robert Kaczmarek.

Tai Chi, as a health system, needs to be explored and researched as a modality that may benefit
individuals having serious health concerns especially when they may not be able to effectively use
other approaches.

The Tai Chi School of Westchester is currently researching using Tai Chi as an adjunct to
traditional western medical modalities in several hospitals and rehab settings, including working
with children (a demographic usually overlooked in Tai Chi classes). This information needs to be
clinically researched and carefully documented so that it may be clearly presented in an acceptable
form to the medical community, as well as to the general public, as a complementary resource
available cost-effectively.

Public presentations, like Ms. Briggs', will continue to increase public awareness and interest in
Tai Chi and stimulate further studies to continue to advance the art and utility of Tai Chi as a
therapeutic modality.
