Why Aging Doesn't Mean Declining with Will Harlow
About this episode

In this episode, I’m talking with physiotherapist and bestselling author Will Harlow about why getting older does not have to mean getting weaker, stiffer, or more limited. Will helps us reframe pain, balance issues, joint discomfort, and muscle loss as signals we can often improve with the right kind of movement.
