Why does flexibility matter as we age?
Joint Health: Maintaining flexibility helps preserve joint health, reducing the risk of stiffness and discomfort associated with aging.
Balance and Stability: Flexibility contributes to better balance and stability, which is crucial in preventing falls, a common concern among the elderly.
Posture Improvement: Flexible muscles and joints support better posture, reducing the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal issues and promoting overall spinal health.
Range of Motion: Good flexibility preserves and enhances the range of motion in joints, allowing for more freedom of movement in daily activities.
Injury Prevention: Flexible muscles are less prone to strains and injuries. As we age, avoiding injuries becomes increasingly important for maintaining independence and overall well-being.
Quality of Life: Being flexible enhances the ability to engage in various physical activities, contributing to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle, which is vital for mental and physical well-being in older age.
