Old Age Defiant is an attitude about aging. It's a positive perception of aging. A study from Yale University shows how positive perception of aging can add 7 years to life compared to a negative perception of aging. Older people are still capable of improving strength, flexibility and have a fulfilled life. They can continue to improve. Age shouldn't be a reason to stop growing.

We also discuss the physical therapist profession, and how working with the elderly helps them to be more mobile and independent, so they can lead more fulfilling lives. </p>
