🦴 Spinal degeneration happens when discs and joints wear down over time, causing pain and stiffness. While X-rays and MRI scans show bone changes, physical movement tests show how much work the spine can actually handle. Specific, low-impact loading exercises help support the spine and keep joints moving. 🧠

October 1st is International Day of Older Persons. 👴🏽👵🏻 The 2026 theme is "The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives." Our elders are leaders and caregivers, playing a vital role in families and communities. As people age, muscle strength becomes weaker, but consistent, gentle movement every day is key to staying fit and healthy.

👴🏽👵🏻 As people age, muscle strength drops and balance becomes weaker, which increases the risk of dangerous falls. Simple daily movements can help protect independence and keep joints stable:

• Single-leg stands: Hold onto a sturdy chair or counter and lift one foot for 10–15 seconds to build ankle stability.

• Sit-to-stands: Practice standing up from a dining chair without using your hands to maintain leg and hip strength.

• Heel-to-toe walking: Walk in a straight line, placing your heel directly in front of your toes, to train your brain and body for better balance.

Consistent, gentle movement every day is key to staying confident on your feet! 💡
