Why Aging Doesn't Mean Declining with Will Harlow
5/27/20261 hr 3 min
What if the stiffness, pain, or weakness you blame on aging is actually something you can improve? 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. I want you to walk away knowing that strength, mobility, and independence are not reserved for the lucky few: they are things you can begin rebuilding today.
