Abstract
This review updates the knowledge on the use of bioprogressive philosophy in current rehabilitation paradigms, focusing on age-related ailments and antiaging strategies. It is a holistic approach that combines aspects of biology and function into the realm of rehabilitation therapy. The bioprogressive philosophy, with assistance of modern technological developments, such as microgravity-producing devices and techniques, enables personalized and targeted therapeutic approach that seems the most effective in rehabilitation and prevention of neuro-myo-sensory disorders that compromise the homeostatic body harmony, particularly in old age. The review defines the aging, discusses the most common physical dysfunctions, linked to posture, balance, or gait, and gives cues to modern antiaging rehabilitative approaches. The emphasis is put on the proprio-neuromuscular facilitation, a combination of stretch technique that steps into the bioprogressive approach, as currently the best method in the world of physical rehabilitation.
