Have you ever felt, well, old? What can you do about it? Dr. Jan Corwin is a Portland, Oregon chiropractor known for her work to speed recovery of pain and injuries. She's one of the most vital people I know. She bikes, hikes, does daily yoga at home and takes vigorous yoga classes several times a week. She also lives in the country where taking the dogs for a walk can be a wilderness adventure. She enjoys time with close friends. And I often hear her laugh with patients clear on the other side of the building! When I asked her to recall a physical challenge, she replied, "I had to have complete bed-rest for 5 weeks before the birth of my 2nd child to keep from going into premature labor. When we got home, every move hurt me. Standing hurt, sitting hurt, walking hurt. I thought, "This is what it's like to get old. I'm old." One day I'd had enough and decided to walk up the steep hill behind my house; and then to do it every day. In about 2 weeks I felt fine. I wasn't in pain! I felt good! I just needed to move to get reconditioned."
