Abstract :Parkinson\'s disease is a physically restrictive and progressive disease. It challenges patients greatly due to its symptoms. It negatively affects walking, balance, and postural stability. Patients, on the other hand, turn to various treatment approaches in order to prevent this. Tai Chi exercises are a type of exercise known for their positive effects on lower extremity control and balance. Tai Chi comes to the forefront at this point. Tai Chi is a safe form of exercise that is good for Parkinson\'s disease, which is mostly seen in geriatric individuals, by providing the necessary flexibility and muscle strength at a moderate and light pace. In this study, we talk about the benefits of Tai Chi exercises and their effects on the restrictive symptoms of Parkinson\'s disease.
