Move Easier

This is often the first goal of treatment when someone presents with an injury. An injured joint usually doesn’t move as well as it should. However ‘moving easier’ is also a very important concept in aging. As we get older we lose the elasticity in our tendons and ligaments and muscles. This puts more strain and pressure on our joints and spine, which leads to cartilage wear and tear, disc degeneration, and osteoarthritis. And osteoarthritis is the leading cause of disability and joint replacements in adults. Therefore it is extremely important to keep all of your joints ‘moving easier’ to keep them healthy as you age.

Be Stronger

Your joints need to be flexible, but they also need to be strong. Strength training can keep your bones strong, reduce wear and tear on your joints, and minimize pressure on your spine and discs. As we age we naturally lose muscle mass, so a well designed strength training program can help keep your joints healthy, prevent disability, and allow you to remain active for many years to come.

Age Gracefully

Prevention is perhaps the most important aspect of aging gracefully. Just like you don’t wait for your teeth to hurt before brushing them, you shouldn’t wait for your body to get injured before taking care of it. Research shows that exercise can treat and prevent as many as 42 chronic diseases. Therefore aging gracefully will include regular stretching and strengthening, exercise, healthy lifestyle choices, good nutrition and appropriate supplementation.
