Tai Chi Chuan heals the body by sending inner energy (Qi) through energy lines (meridians) in the body. In this manner the choreography of each posture moves the Qi to the a specific inner organ. Some organs are considered extra important to tonify, and thus some of the postures are repeated.
Tai Chi is known to have an effect towards many problems, e.g. circulatory disorders. When you train every day it's also an effective mean against back disorders.
Research on hospitals in China has shown, that Tai Chi has a benificial effect on patients undergoing regenaration after a sickbed of longer duration. The high blood pressure of these patients drops, just as the lung and heart functions are considerably improved in relation to the control group, who didn't train Tai Chi Chuan.
