Ozzy Osbourne continues with medical treatments following a series of surgeries in recent years. In the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast , the Prince of Darkness revealed that he has started practicing a martial art to help regain mobility, balance, and motor coordination.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and battling it since 2003, the musician recently reached the milestone of seven surgical procedures in a four-year period. Now, he is in the recovery phase with treatments such as physiotherapy, yoga practice, and even the martial art Tai Chi Chuan.

Regarding the treatments, Ozzy Osbourne showed himself open to trying new methods. "[Tai Chi] is good for balance, it's a new adventure.
