Pragmatic randomized crossover design with delayed start. Participants are randomized 1:1 to Tai Chi Now (immediate program plus usual care) or Tai Chi Later (usual care for six months, then delayed access to the same twelve-month program). Delivery is entirely virtual by Zoom. The program is a three-month foundation phase (two 60-minute live classes per week) followed by nine months of monthly booster sessions and guided home practice. Co-primary clinical endpoints are change in pain (BPI-4) and disability (ODI) from baseline to three months, both required to reach significance. Secondary endpoints include EQ-5D-5L quality of life, healthcare costs, work productivity (WPAI), and cost-effectiveness. Participants and program staff are not blinded; the study statistician analyzes data blinded to group identity.
