Aging? Stay Young

In my Growing Younger Program, I work with people from the age of 40 years to 90 years or more.  One of my clients shared with me his finding that the third most common cause of death in the elderly is falling.

When children are learning to walk, they fall over all the time.  My kids fall down by choice, they trip and tumble in the yard just as easily as throwing themselves onto a pile of pillows.  When I trip on a tree root during a hike, I easily catch myself and keep moving.

Our bodies learn bipedal motion by trial and error.  Through the early years of our development, we take advantage of our ability to balance so easily.  Eventually we advance to perfecting complex movement through the pursuit of sports, dance, and even music.

At what point do we go from being mobile to so immobile that falling is our demise?  Falling fits into the category of one those things easy to avoid.  There are handrails, canes, walkers, and wheelchairs.  And these items, while helpful, don't make changes to the primary source of stability.

The Growing Younger Program restores basic movement patterns that combine into better functional mobility.  While it isn't just for the elderly, they are the group that notice the changes quickest.  Growing Younger is also for men and women who recognize that aging can change them but doesn't have to

Avoid common difficulties of aging, stop getting older and start Growing Younger immediately.  Call for a complimentary 15 minute AGE-LESS consultation and I'll share with you how to stay young for the rest of your life.
