🧘♂️ Gentle exercises to improve joint mobility

As we age, maintaining joint flexibility and mobility becomes essential to maintaining independence and avoiding chronic pain. Fortunately, a few simple, regular exercises can make a big difference.

Why these exercises are important:
Joints become stiffer over time. Gentle stretching and proper movement can help maintain good range of motion while reducing stiffness.

Examples of easy exercises to do at home:

  • Ankle and wrist circles : Sitting or lying down, make circles in one direction then the other.

  • Wall Back Stretch : Straighten up and slide your back against the wall to improve your posture.

  • Knee flexion-extension : sitting on a chair, straighten your leg then gently release.

⏱️ 5 to 10 minutes a day is enough to feel the benefits!

Advice :
Start slowly, listen to your body, and gradually increase the intensity. If you feel any pain, stop immediately.
