“Mobility is extremely important as we age. We typically get stiffer and less mobile so making sure to maintain motion in our joints and soft tissues is crucial for overall health,” says Dr. Karena Wu, 51, Start TODAY trainer and Owner of ActiveCare Physical Therapy. “Our joints sit the deepest, so motion here means the overlying soft tissue will be more pliable and malleable, which means better control, circulation, range of motion, balance and performance. Having a full range of motion allows for the best muscle activation so exercises can work the soft tissues through the entire range."
