Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Tai Chi practice in reducing symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C).
Detailed Description:
This is a single-center pilot study investigating the efficacy of Tai Chi practice in reducing symptoms of IBS. The investigators hope that subjects practicing Tai Chi will have reduced symptoms of IBS-C as measured through overall global symptom relief as well as the IBS-SSS, IBS-QOL, VSI, HADS, Visual Analogue Pain Scale, and changes in bloating, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and constipation severity. The study will also use daily entries made through the GeoPain app to record trends in pain intensity.
