I had to start with 10 mins of seated Tai Chi for seniors and cripples, and build up from there. I used the Dr. Lam DVD that someone on here recommended. Found it on Amazon.
As much as I like Chinese martial arts, I would point a TOS person to focus on a "Fixing You" book and/or an Egoscue book. You can add the Tai Chi in after making progress with those.

Thanks Chroma
I thought that the Tai Chi would be a good reintroduction to some form of exercise but you are right that the movements are too arm involved
I will certainly look into your suggestions of the Egoscue book etc
Wishing you well by the way.
