Movements That Re-Activate Your Youth
When we were younger we called it play. Now, we workout. Let’s get back to playing!
In today’s wonderful world of convenience and technology, we no longer have to get off the couch. And, many of us don’t! With TV remotes and online ordering, drone deliveries and
fast food drive-throughs, these wonderful advancements seem to be conspiring to keep us from having to move at all.
Unfortunately, what seems to be timesaving and convenient today is actually detrimental to our long-term health and quality of life.
Many Americans suffer from what is now known as the sitting disease.
With two-hour commutes to and from work, long days sitting at your desks and endless evenings laying on the couch watching TV it’s no wonder so many of us are fat, sick and depressed.
And, what’s worse, when we finally get to retire from working so hard for all those years, most of us can’t enjoy it because our health is failing or, we have aches and pains that prevent us from doing the things we love.

Our Written Testimonials
Mike Boyd
The Spine Center team and B.A.S.E. classes at DHAC have helped him to not only transform his exercise routine but, his quality of life as well, allowing him to live without pain. He can now walk longer distances, stand still for greater lengths of time, sit more comfortably, and get up and down with ease. His back and neck pain is nearly gone. Mike has worked out for all of his life. He says, “Nothing else I have done can compare to the results I’ve experienced from the combination of the incredible care I received in the Spine Center and attending B.A.S.E. classes.”
Joan Williams
Joan came back from her wonderful vacation. She especially noticed that this year, carrying around her giant suitcase around the airport was much easier. Airports are a giant balance hazard due to the rushed atmosphere and large crowds. The last thing she wanted to do on her way to vacation is to suffer from a fall. She says, “It’s the small activities we do during our daily lives we should not take for granted.”
Margaret Whitbread
Margaret takes her grandchildren to the ocean every year to spend time with them. This year was a special year though because Margaret got to do something she never imagined being able to do. She says her grandchildren always try to get her to go in the water to play, but because of her balance issue she could not. After taking the program, not only did she have the confidence enough to surprise her grandchildren in the water, she had no trouble keeping her balance! By improving her balance, Margaret and her grandchildren can now share new memories together.
Edward Hickson
He stepped on a low wall in an outdoor patio area and started to slip on the moss and dirt on top of the wall. But, quickly reestablished his balance. In an other incident, he was walking at a very crowded event when he felt his balance shift. Again, he quickly regained his balance without having to think about it. He says, “It simply happened”
