Wise Body Moves
Share
I help aging, changing bodies move more easily and with less pain, so they can keep doing what they love. I make physical activity easier (and hopefully more fun) for people whose bodies are changing - usually with age, though also with injury or illness. I especially love working with people who have passed their 60th (or 70th, 80th and 90th!) birthday, and I'm skilled in working with a wide rang
Triangle area friends:
There are FREE fall risk screenings this week in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough on 2 different days (details below).
At these events, screeners (including me) will administer evidence-based “tests” long recommended by the CDC, and will provide participants with results to share with their physician.
This is a great opportunity to get a professional assessment of your fall risk, so you can learn how to lower it! Compliments of Fyzical in North Chapel Hill and the Orange County Department on Aging. And Fall Prevention Awareness Week. 😊
If you have any questions, feel free to put them in comments.

The top recommendation from orthopedic surgeons interviewed for this article?
Movement!
Such as gentle stretching and mobilization (they didn’t use that word, but this is what they’re referring to).
Moving - even gentle movement - helps circulate the fluid that keeps your joints lubricated
Sitting still too long does the opposite, creating stiffness.
Note: While the article also mentions the standard recommendation to get 150 minutes of exercise each week, anything more than you are currently doing is always beneficial.
Do what you CAN, and notice how it helps.

Congrats, Peter!
