You Are Not Too Old to Get Strong.

from Lead Well! with Christine Schickinger · host Christine Schickinger

In this practical and energizing conversation, movement educator and physical therapist Eileen Kopsaftis explains why pain does not have to be a natural part of aging. She shares the most common myths about decline, how the brain loses contact with parts of the body, and why most people unknowingly train in ways that reinforce stiffness instead of reducing it. Eileen demonstrates a simple seated three-plane routine to improve thoracic rotation, release the neck, and support lower back health. We discuss why manual therapy can be supportive but never restores function on its own, how much daily movement is needed, and why strength gains are possible at any age. A hopeful and highly useful episode for anyone who wants to move better, feel better, and age with freedom instead of fear.
