Age Gracefully
Schedule an AppointmentWe are told that as we age, it is normal to feel more depleted, more pain, and become diagnosed with more diseases. We are told that it is common to experience aches and pains, foggy memory, and slower recovery.
At Marsden Centre, we take a holistic approach to aging. We believe that gaining years also means gaining experience and knowledge about healing, strength and resilience.
We address the following questions and concerns:
- How can I decrease my neck, back and joint pain?
- How can I improve my memory?
- Can I become energetic again?
- Is it safe to take vitamins if I am already on medications?
- How can I make my immune system stronger?
- How can I have regular bowel movements?
- How can I improve my balance?
- How can I keep my bones strong?
- How can I maintain a healthy sex life?
The goal of this program is to prevent and build resiliency for age related diseases as well as optimizing health so you can feel your best. We investigate inflammation, metabolic, hormonal, cardiovascular and bone health along with sexual health and brain health.
