Incorporating daily stretching into your routine can greatly improve flexibility and overall mobility in seniors. Here are some effective stretching routines to consider.
Gently tilt your head towards one shoulder until you feel a stretch in the opposite side of your neck. Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat on the other side.
Raise one arm above your head, bend your elbow, and gently pull your elbow with your opposite hand. Hold for 15-30 seconds and switch arms.
Sit on the edge of a chair, extend one leg straight out with your heel on the floor, and lean forward slightly keeping your back straight. Hold for 15-30 seconds before switching legs.
Stand facing a wall, step back with one leg and press the heel into the ground. Hold for 15-30 seconds and switch legs.
