In his 15th year in Naples, Doctor of Oriental Medicine Alfred Cormier, a licensed primary care physician, has moved his Cormier Health Center office to 4947 Tamiami Trail North, Suite 206, in Liberty Plaza. Along with providing acupuncture, Chinese herbs, mesotherapy, prolotherapy and low-level laser treatments during regular hours, he is now offering private, one-hour tai chi rouli (ball) lessons at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. by appointment.

A certified international coach trained by Master Tong Bao Min, in Beijing, Cormier says the recreation, in which clients use rackets to hit plastic balls filled with sand, can help with weight loss, neck, shoulder and arm arthritis, general stiffness and improve balance and overall strength.

Cost: $60 lesson; clients get two rackets, two balls, a racket bag and Cormier’s instructional DVD after the first lesson. For more information or to make an appointment, call 239-530-3997 or visit Prolopuncture.com.
