Larry Niven's "A World Out of Time" occured to me too. It uses this idea. The protagonist was a man from our near future who becomes a starship pilot. Time dilation places him in a far future solar system with a very changed Earth, now orbiting Jupiter. Do the words "Dicta" or "Boys" mean anything to you?

"Fax machines" that heal injuries and restore yiuth, making people effectively immortal, are a prominent feature of Wil McCarthy's Queendom of Sol novels, starting with The Collapsium. There's also a lot of dangerous mucking-about with gravity.

This is not much to go by, but in Exile's Gate, the fourth of the novels about the heroine Morgaine by C. J. Cherryh, the viewpoint character (Margaine's ronin servant, Nhi Vanye) is reverted to a fixed age every time he passes through a teleportation gate. Morgaine had programmed the gates to do this, to heal his injuries.
Since the plot of the whole series involves Morgaine traveling from planet to planet through the gates and closing them behind her, this is a potentially important plot point. It means that Vanye will not be able to outgrow his approximately twenty-year-old appearance as long as he continues to travel through the gates. However, since the novels ended after Exile's Gate, the issue was not pursued too extensively.

My memory of it is: a man is stranded, originally he thinks alone, but I think he eventually finds another person, a woman. The planet has ancient alien technology on it still running, that he discovers can teleport him around the planet (which is how he eventually finds the other person). The button on the story is that he realizes that the teleporting is healing him and restoring his youth and vigor, and that he and the woman have a long life of health ahead of them.

I've read a lot of Larry Niven's short stories (and novels), so was hopeful it was 'A World Out Of Time,' but that doesn't sound familiar.
I thought it was a short story. And the details are basically accounted for in the OP's question. My memory of it is: a man is stranded, originally he thinks alone, but I think he eventually finds another person, a woman. The planet has ancient alien technology on it still running, that he discovers can teleport him around the planet (which is how he eventually finds the other person). The button on the story is that he realizes that the teleporting is healing him and restoring his youth and vigor, and that he and the woman have a long life of health ahead of them.

Larry Niven's "A World Out of Time" occured to me too. It uses this idea. The protagonist was a man from our near future who becomes a starship pilot. Time dilation places him in a far future solar system with a very changed Earth, now orbiting Jupiter. Do the words "Dicta" or "Boys" mean anything to you?
