By middle age, most people have at least one joint that causes them problems—maybe a knee, hip, their lower back, or shoulder. How should you handle it? Painkillers? Physical therapy? Surgery?

Listen and learn:

• The importance of full body mobility as well as joint specific mobility
• Why three months is often a great initial test period for reliability and injury
