Staying Mobile As You Age

Fitness

Wellness

Chiropractic

Aging doesn’t automatically mean slowing down. Reduced mobility is often the result of accumulated tension, compensation, and reduced joint efficiency.

Mobility depends on:

  • Balanced muscle tone

  • Joint alignment

  • Nervous system coordination

  • Consistent movement

When alignment improves, movement often becomes smoother and more efficient — not forced.

5 Things You Can Do Now

  1. Move daily, even briefly.
    Consistency matters more than intensity.

  2. Work on balance.
    Stand on one leg while brushing your teeth.

  3. Keep your thoracic spine mobile.
    Gentle seated rotations can reduce stiffness.

  4. Prioritize protein and hydration.
    Muscles recover better when fueled properly.

  5. Don’t normalize stiffness.
    Gradual decline isn’t inevitable — it’s often correctable.

Mobility supports independence, confidence, and long-term quality of life.
