Loosen Up: Mobility for a More Independent You

Getting in and out of a car, reaching for a top shelf, turning to check your blind spot -- all these things depend on mobility most people never think about until it's gone. This engaging, hands-on session with physical therapist Ariel Painter covers what's really happening in your joints as you age, includes a self-assessment of your own flexibility, and sends you home with a short daily routine to keep you moving freely.
