Summary
By middle age, most people have at least one joint that causes them problems—maybe a knee, hip, their lower back, or shoulder. How should you handle it? Painkillers? Physical therapy? Surgery? These are tough decisions, especially to face alone. This week on Age Less, Live More, you’ll meet a physiotherapist who specializes in helping people stay active and healthy in middle age and beyond.
Listen and learn:
- The importance of full body mobility as well as joint specific mobility
- Why three months is often a great initial test period for reliability and injury
- Why it’s never too late to build strength and mobility
