How Good Is Your Mobility?
Briefly

As we age, our body's soft tissues and joints become more rigid, making daily tasks like bending down to tie shoes increasingly difficult and uncomfortable.
This creates a vicious cycle where joint stiffness leads to sedentary behavior, further weakening joints and increasing risks such as falls and arthritis.
Recent studies highlight a correlation between joint health and longevity, noting that better lower limb mobility significantly reduces the likelihood of falls in older adults.
Maintaining a specific range of motion in joints, like the ability to raise the ball of your foot while keeping your heel on the ground, is crucial for mobility.
