FLEXIBILITY As you age, your muscles tighten more and your range of motion of a joint can be minimised. This can stop active lifestyles and even hinder your day-to-day normal activities. This is also true of your mind and emotions. The less pliant you are, the less able you will be to adapt to new situations which can increase the levels of frustration and stress, this then works its way into your fascia, hardens and contributes to muscle tightening and the further loss of range of motion. Is being flexible really that important? Simply, Yes! Flexibility is increased through careful stretching of the muscles. In addition to making normal activities possible and pain-free, flexible muscles relieve stress, promote good posture, reduce the risk of pain and injury, and allow ease of movement throughout life.
