Posture Change
With Age

A friend recently asked me if it was normal to become less upright as one ages. The answer is yes, we can expect to be more stooped as we age. We also can expect to lose height and change our gait (walking). From about age 30 onward, there are gradual changes that take place in men and women.

Exercise and the Aging Person

There are many benefits of following a regular exercise program. This is true even for people who experience joint pain, back pain, arthritis, or osteoporosis. And it is also true for people who are recovering from an injury or surgery like joint replacement or arthroscopy.
