Movement and Aging

Every movement counts, and it’s never too late to start!

Join Dr. Clayton Vesperman, MD, in the Library at the Levy Senior Center on Thursday, September 24, at 1:30 pm to discover how staying active can help you stay independent, steady, and feeling your best at any age.

Learn why movement is one of the most important tools for healthy aging, from reducing the risk of falls and building strength to boosting mood and helping you feel your best. You’ll also discuss the four essential types of movement-walking, strength, balance, and flexibility-and how to practice them, even from a chair or wheelchair.

Dr. Vesperman will share simple ways to incorporate more movement into everyday routines, along with practical tips for moving safely, using mobility aids with confidence, and knowing when to ask for support.
