On August 10, 2022, iMove PT launched its very own podcast, “Healthy Habits for Active Aging.” Hosts Dr. Michael Gorman and Dr. Lauren Bennett share a common interest to educate the community with a variety of topics related to the healthy active aging adult. The ultimate goal of the podcast is to not only promote longevity but a positive quality of life.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people are living longer worldwide. By 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be of age 60 or older. By 2050, this is projected to double. The number of people 80 and older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050, to 426,000,000. Life expectancy in the United States is 78.8 years. Therefore, the goal of the podcast is to share knowledge on a variety of topics for all aging adults!
To name a few, previous episodes include “All About Exercise for the Healthy Aging Adult”, “Safely Exercising with Osteoarthritis”, “Biology of Aging”, and “Golfing At All Ages…You Bet!” Other episodes discuss muscle soreness, alternative options to joint replacements, post-surgical care for total knee joint replacements, home ergonomics, heat vs. ice, and the pain cycle. Dr. Gorman and Dr. Bennett will interview experts in the field of active aging to enhance the lives of our podcast community. Episodes are launched every Wednesday and can be found on Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. Questions, suggestions for future topics, and feedback can be emailed to info@imovephysicaltherapy.com. We hope to provide a laugh or two along the way and positively promote a healthy longevity for all aging adults. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!
