TAI CHI FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHRIRTIS
FROMTHE ARTICLE 'When Ibuprofen Won't Cut It'

Painful condition: Knee osteoarthritis
Alterna-Treatment: Tai chi
An hour of tai chi twice a week for three months reduced pain by 75 percent among patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, according to a study from Tufts University School of Medicine. Look for classes at gyms, hospitals, or community centers. Or practice at home (Netflix has more than 6,000 tai chi DVDs).
MY THOUGHTS
just one hour- that can be easily done, i think. here's a sample tai chi video from youtube.
