Great piece again Kerala! I recently tried for an hour to find any kind of physical therapy related image that didn't show either a 25 year old woman with glowing skin, or someone with a prosthetic leg, for a piece I wrote on going to PT following hip surgery. I settled for some hand weights on a floor. SMH

Trying to find images of women in their 60s doing anything other than walking along a beach or smiling at grandkids—good luck. Or they have skin so wrinkled it looks like they're 80. Nothing wrong with that, but that's not at all how I look. If anything, due to being a bookworm, my skin looks about 20 years younger than my age. Let's face it, middle age women are invisible, even to stock photographers.
