B I assume you already know that raising the bars also brings them closer to you as well as relieving strain on the wrists, arms, neck and back. I would also strongly recommend regular yoga routine. You can't stop the aging process but you can both slow it down and ameliorate its impact. Besides increasing your flexibility the yoga will heighten your body awareness, which will make the rest of your needs easier to perceive and respond to. enjoy the ride. michael
