that specializes in modern sports science. >> what tai cheng does is it retrains your muscles to move the right way, putting your body back into proper alignment so you can move better, feel better, and get a more responsive, stronger body. >> i do it every single day because it makes me feel healthy. it makes me feel like i can move, like i'm not gonna walk down some stairs and trip and fall. >> announcer: today america's most beloved tv personality -- regis philbin -- will not only prove tai cheng works by showing you amazing success stories... >> this program gave me back my life. i can do whatever i want now. >> i feel so good about myself now that i'm gonna try something i haven't done in 20 years.

[ cheers and applause ] >> thank you. never had an audience this good, joy. >> i've never seen such energy. they must be on tai cheng. [ laughter ] >> well, we all know everybody's living longer these days, but here's the problem -- a lot of us start to have issues with balance and mobility, and that makes it hard, if not impossible, to stay fit. >> you know, it's sad when somebody works hard all their life... >> mm-hmm. >> ...and then can't enjoy life when they finally have the time. or even worse, they fall and break something. and then forget it. they stop moving forever. >> yeah. you've seen those commercials where the old lady falls down and she can't get up. >> yes. >> so they sell her a speed dial... >> that thing that they wear around -- it's not attractive. >> she wears it around her neck. >> mm.

we wanted to find something that would keep us strong and improve our balance, and that's when we discovered tai cheng. we were shocked at how easy it was to master. dr. cheng developed a unique teaching method that really explains things in a way we can understand. >> and now you're holding a ball. don't hold this to your body like so, but hold it off your body. >> he really americanized learning tai chi. >> and because you get three viewing angles and an ingenious, simple foot-placement grid, you always know where to put your feet. it's foolproof. if regis and i can do it, believe me, anyone can. >> what dr. cheng has created here is truly amazing. tai cheng makes you more flexible. it improves your balance. it takes away your aches, your pains. it makes you feel younger, stronger. it works! joy and i love it. but the big question is, why does it work? to help us with that, please welcome emergency-room physician dr. steve salvatore. welcome to dr. steve! [ applause ] dr. steve. >> how are you?

>> great to have you here. dr. steve, i got to tell you -- tai cheng worked wonders for joy and i, but why does it work so well? >> you know, regis, i'm not surprised it worked for you. tai chi has been around for literally hundreds of years. it's helped millions of people with flexibility and balance problems, make them feel younger and stronger. in fact, it's been clinically proven that doing these gentle movements will not only help strengthen your muscles and joints, it'll help improve your balance and mobility. tai chi is also proven to help relieve pain from arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, low back pain, many different types of joint pains. >> well, how did dr. cheng come up with this in the first place? >> all right, so, dr. cheng is a tai chi master. he's a martial-arts expert, and he has a phd in sports medicine. so he knew about tai chi and he knew the benefits and he thought, "i want to put all these things together." he americanized it and put that into tai cheng, a simple, easy

>> here's the bottom line -- tai cheng worked for joy and i, and it could work for anybody. take a look at julie's story. >> i've had a knee injury, and it's been really painful. nothing seems to help. my balance has gotten a little precarious over the years. and i took a fall, and i really hurt my lower back. i want to be more mobile and flexible, and i'm hoping that tai cheng will do that for me. it's amazing, the difference from the first week to now. i've gotten stronger. my knee doesn't hurt at all. and my posture is better. i also think my balance is a lot better. the tai cheng program is really well thought out. there's a reason for every move. the wonderful thing about dr. cheng -- i feel like i have a personal instructor that's standing right across from me. >> as you turn the foot in, this turns into a fist, and then you start sheathing a sword as you bring the feet together. >> the best things about tai cheng is it makes you feel better about yourself. now i can get books off the shelf, and i'm not worried about wobbling.

about his pulling me over. i can run around with my goddaughter. i feel so good about myself now that i'm gonna try something i haven't done in 20 years. i'm gonna go water-skiing again. this is my time to shine, to really do the things i've always wanted to do. i think i will be doing tai cheng for the rest of my life. >> wow! say hello to julie, everybody! yeah, here she comes! julie, how do you feel? >> yeah? >> and so much more active since tai cheng and i'm flexible and i've got my youthful figure back. >> so, what was your favorite part of the program? >> well, i really liked the fact that i could do it, you know. and then as i was in the program, i noticed that i was improving as i went along. and i guess maybe the best is that i got my confidence back. >> oh, confidence is important. >> it sure is. >> and that's a big part of the program, regis. as you get older, we all lose our confidence. we're worried that we're gonna fall. we lose our balance. we're not steady on our feet.

1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 falls every year. half of all adults over 80 -- that's half -- a huge number -- fall. and once you fall, we know that you're 2 to 3 times more likely to fall again. and here's the worst part -- 95% of all hip fractures are caused by falls. this is such a great program. tai chi is recommended by the cdc as a great activity for older people. so, tai cheng simplifies it for you so you can do tai chi in your home, just like julie did, and get those kinds of results. >> julie, thanks so much for coming to our show. you look wonderful. >> i feel great. [ applause ] >> how many things have you stopped doing because of pain or immobility or poor balance? i'll bet it's more than you can think. if you're wondering if tai cheng can help you get back into the game, i'll give you the answer -- yes. it worked for me. i'll work for you. so keep watching for an amazing
