Healthy Tips & Tricks
from The Health & Wellness Committee
Today we hear from
Rey Abadilla from
Keeping hips healthy for post-retirement activity
Pain, soreness, and weakness in the hips can interfere with desired activity levels, particularly for men and women 65 years old and older. For active Americans trying to enjoy their retirement years, poor hip health simply isn’t part of the plan—but that doesn’t mean they’re destined to miss out on life’s many pursuits.
