This is part 1 in my short series of light-hearted videos about our spines and how to best use them so we can stay active and keep playing well into our old age. It uses some of the information gathered during my PhD research, but don't worry - it's easy to follow.

extremely bad audio and a lagging pace if I recall correctly. I don't have much of an attention span *SQUIRREL!* and you should assume no one else does either these days.

Eat right and exercise, and try to maintain good thoughts, is all anyone need to remain active
and live a long healthy life.

Floss regularly.

I was insulted and deeply hurt once, by a woman who mocked me for wearing white shoes after 9/1...What could I say, I'd just got back from CA and been watching a lot of Miami Vice! 8)
