H3: Anti-Aging Posture Workshop

People often ask if the loss of mobility, flexibility and vitality is just a normal part of the aging process. The answer is a definite no. Getting older does not have to result in physical limitations. The common bent over posture of old age occurs as a result of the body adapting to long-term poor posture. If we let it, the aging process often begins with avoidance of movement. Some people begin early in life to limit their activity or what they perceive may cause pain. Some people limit their activity due to past injuries. The injury causes abnormal movement patterns which actually result in pain. Many other people eliminate activity just because they think it will cause discomfort. In some cases, the only limitations we have are those we place on ourselves. Youth is a feeling, not an age. Think young and be young. Improving your posture not only leads to improved balance, coordination and function, but an erect stature will add a lot to our youthful appearance.
