t is natural for the human body to experience degenerative changes as we age. Cartilage that allows our joints to move smoothly and sustain force wears down, and osteoarthritis often follows. Our muscles naturally weaken over time. Some muscles shorten due to sustained poor posture common with sedentary lifestyles, while other deep stabilizer muscles become weak. The body can become stiff and weak, leading to dysfunctional movement patterns, poor balance and pain. All of us could use some help along the way in dealing with these very human conditions.
