Problems with immobility or a sedentary lifestyle in the elderly population

​

As we age, immobility leads to complications such as:

​

• Loss of muscle mass

• Increased bone fragility

• Joint and muscle stiffness

• Increased pain and cramps

• Risk of bedsores or skin wounds

• Circulatory problems and fluid retention

• Fatigue and general tiredness or with small activities

• Loss of balance when standing or walking

• Gait insecurity

​

"MOVE it or LOSE it!" This saying becomes more and more important as we get older as the body becomes less forgiving and doesn't heal like it used to. However, even the slightest bit of specific exercise can counteract these effects and work to improve strength, balance, mobility and decrease pain.
