M.I.T Age Suit

Dr. McGraw's Blog — 2011-08-02T19:41:55Z

http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2009/03/23/agesuit/

MIT has invented an age suit to give younger people a glimpse into their future. If you notice in the link above, the majority of the age suit's design revolves around restricting the person's mobility. Keep in mind the most common cause of functional disability in persons over 50 years of age is spinal disorders. It doesn't have to be that way. Chiropractic has been shown to add mobility to the body. Chiropractic mixed with Active release is an even bigger hit!

The point is invest in your health now. You can be as active as you want when you retire, but put the effort in now. Call our office and ask how we can help you stay as mobile and pain free for years to come.

Yours for Better Health,

Dr. Mc Graw
