Many musculo-skeletal disorders seen as just old age have there roots in postural degeneration. Watching the way many elderly people shuffle along the street they would greatly benefit from posture corrections.

The antidote to aging is activity. Most of the limitations that people associate with aging are actually due to inactivity. Regular exercise is an essential survival key for older adults - not just for quantity of life, but also for quality of life. No matter what your age is now or how inactive you have been, it is never too late to start an exercise program for better health.

Exercise is the "best medicine" for many of the ills of advanced aging. According to Dr. Steven Blair of the Cooper Institute in Dallas, the best predictor for full function and avoidance of disability in one's later years is physical fitness. Dr. William Foege, former Director of the CDC has said that exercise has a potency comparable to immunization in repressing disease. Exercise also elevates cognitive and physical function to levels which can guarantee more years of independent living.
