Not sure that it's supposed to 'do' anything for you, (I've never tried DW's), other than (post #11) act as a reminder to do it yourself.......À chacun son goût.....I'm not selling them.
Glad you found something that worked.

An executive coached advised how yoga can help in myriad ways. Started about 4 years ago and continue the exercises today. Balance, core, posture, strength and flexibility all improved. I took a health and nutrition class at university and One of the biggest things to focus on with aging was keeping flexible.

Yoga has made a huge improvement in my posture and flexibility. I started about 3.5 years ago at a local studio with an owner who trains all her instructors with a focus on proper alignment and core strength. I was starting to feel a bit stiff and my back was bothering me so I decided I had to do something. Thank goodness my studio is doing many classes a week via Zoom. So nice to just walk to the bedroom and roll out my mat 10 minutes before class. That reminds me to sign up for the 10:30 class tomorrow morning!
One of our instructors is originally from England and she has gone back to help her mum after surgery. One day last week, the local instructor lost her Zoom connection early in the class so the instructor in England, who was taking the class, jumped in and completed the class. It then occurred to me that anyone in the world can now take classes 'at' our studio now!

I've been doing yoga 2 or 3 days a week for 15 years. I have actually "grown" 1/2 inch in height, so not stooped. Yoga is an excellent exercise for aging bodies (and minds).

For years I have used a yoga bench against a wall to flip myself upside down - resting on my shoulders with my head hanging - for 5 minutes after exercising. Stretches out your entire body.
I always have had bad posture since young.

I’m not at all, my dad turns 90 on Monday and is still ramrod straight. My mother died 3 years ago of lung cancer and was not stooped until her final 6 months.

My mom did not live so long (84) but was always conscious of her posture, and taught me the same. In her case (she said) she wanted to get every possible inch out of her very short height (5 feet 1.5"). But she also pointed out older women with "dowager's humps" as a condition, which everyone should try to avoid, and not just because it is unsightly.

DW, at 5' 1" would regard her as a veritable giant.

We recall seeing an old lady in Krakow, bent over as if she was permanently observing ants on the sidewalk....sad to see.

Probably a collapsed spine from osteoporosis.

Quite likely.....whatever the cause it was debilitating, and we felt so sorry for her.

The really sad thing is that she could have had perfect posture, and still ended up bent over when vertebrae crumbled. Bad posture/kyphosis on its own can bring on height loss, but not the way osteoporosis can.

What’s your experience with the inversion table? Mixed reviews online, so I haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
