Editorial Policy

1. Why this policy exists

Tai Chi Coach publishes content about Tai Chi practice, balance, stress relief, recovery, sleep, and healthy aging. Because some of these topics overlap with health decisions, we aim to be clear about what our content can and cannot promise.

Our goal is to make evidence-informed Tai Chi guidance easier to understand while staying honest about uncertainty, individual differences, and the limits of wellness content.

2. How we research content

When we publish or update a page, we look for high-quality sources first. We prefer guidance and research from organizations such as NCCIH, NIH, Harvard Health, Mayo Clinic, CDC, and peer-reviewed journals.

• We favor systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized trials, and major institutional guidance when available.
• We separate traditional Tai Chi concepts from medical claims and avoid presenting tradition as clinical proof.
• We avoid absolute promises such as guaranteed pain relief, anxiety recovery, or fall prevention.
• We revise wording when evidence is mixed, preliminary, or population-specific.

3. Source standards and citation practice

We try to link claims to the strongest practical source available. On health-sensitive pages, that means using source links that readers can inspect directly instead of vague references.

• Outcome claims should be framed conservatively and backed by a visible source when possible.
• We prefer primary or institution-level sources over unsourced summaries.
• Older studies may be cited for context, but newer evidence is preferred when it materially changes the conclusion.

4. Health, exercise, and safety disclaimer

Tai Chi Coach is not a medical provider. Our content is intended for educational and general wellness purposes only. It should not be treated as diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical advice.

If you have pain, dizziness, balance impairment, injury, a chronic condition, or a recent medical procedure, consult a qualified clinician before starting a new routine. Stop practice and seek medical guidance if symptoms worsen.

5. Authorship and review responsibility

Tai Chi Coach content is created and maintained by the Tai Chi Coach editorial team, led by founder Aykut Yılmaz. Content decisions focus on clarity, usefulness, source quality, and safe framing for beginners and older adults.

We do not currently present the site as a substitute for clinician-reviewed medical publishing. Where a topic is especially health-sensitive, we aim to narrow claims, cite stronger sources, and make limitations visible.

6. Updates, reviews, and corrections

We review pages when new evidence, product changes, or user feedback make a revision necessary. Material updates may include claim edits, clearer wording, fresher citations, or additional safety language.

• We correct factual errors when we confirm them.
• We update misleading or outdated wording when evidence changes.
• We may revise structure to improve answer quality, readability, and transparency.

7. Contact for corrections

If you spot an error, outdated citation, or unclear health claim, email us at [email protected]. Please include the page URL and a short description of the issue so we can review it efficiently.
