Eps 408: How to Stay Strong and Pain-Free as You Age with Eileen Kopsaftis
About this episode
Eileen Kopsaftis discusses how to manage chronic pain and improve movement as one ages.
If you’ve been brushing off the aches and stiffness as “just aging”… pause and listen to this. I’m joined by Eileen Kopsaftis, a chronic pain and movement expert with over 30 years of experience helping people get out of pain and move well again.
