"There's a myth out there saying that aches and pains come with aging, and it's not a normal part of aging," Walter said.

She later clarified what pain comes from. 

"Pain is a way that your body is telling you something [is] not right. Something may be out of balance. You may have some deficits in strength or flexibility," Walter said.

Walter also explained what "Body and Balance" is and how it can be a great tool for people who want to know if they're in good physical condition. "Body and Balance" does a complete evaluation of your strength, flexibility, balance and posture. The evaluation could potentially identify problems you may not have realized you had.

The "Body and Balance" evaluation will be featured at the 9HealthFair on Oct. 27 from 7 a.m. to noon at 1001 Ulysses St. In Golden.
