Looking to stay strong, independent, and pain-free well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond? In today’s video from Senior Wellness, we explore 6 simple movements that Japanese elders have practiced daily for nearly 100 years—helping them live longer, move better, and avoid many of the challenges we associate with aging.
