FEATURED STORY: Time to stretch
It’s common knowledge that people slow down as they age. Daily activities like standing up from a chair and getting in and out of bed become increasingly difficult. These limitations are often caused by a decline in muscle strength and flexibility. Flexibility is the ability of the muscles and tendons to lengthen and stretch in response to movement, and allow a joint to move through its range of motion. A good stretching program is important to incorporate into your daily routine to help maintain flexibility. Stretches for the neck, arms, back, hips and legs will help maintain flexibility as the years pass by, keeping you limber for all life has to offer.
