COMFORT KEEPERS, A CAREGIVING AGENCY FOR IN HOME SENIOR CITIZENS IN WALLINGFORD, CT; WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR CAREGIVERS TO ENCOURAGE OUR EDERLY CLIENTS AND AGING PARENTS TO INCREASE THEIR FLEXIBILITY
By Carol Carbutti
We realize that here is a tremendous amount of health information for our healthy aging senior citizens nowadays and that it is a real challenge trying to keep up. I’m sure many caregiving family members feel the same way. Our agency understands that it is easy to overlook many important health issues that can be very beneficial to your elderly parents’ health and longevity. That brings me to the topic of Flexibility.
There are many benefits to increasing your senior parents’ flexibility through stretching. When an elderly mom or dad’s muscles become flexible, they will notice that they have better posture. This makes them look better and also improves how well they breathe. Flexibility through stretching also helps to move nutrients into our aging senior clients’ muscles by increasing the blood flow in their body. By stretching regularly, retirees can increase their range of motion, so they are able to move with less resistance and with less energy.
Your in home aging parents will need continuous encouragement from family caregivers and homecare specialist to improve their flexibility. Elderly retirees will realize, after a period of time, their body will work much better with scheduled stretching and an exercise routine. An independent at home senior who stretches regularly will notice they are less likely to become injured. Continued effort from stretching in the morning and before exercise will help our seniors avoid any unnecessary discomfort.
Caregivers may find many different ways to improve their elder seniors’ flexibility. We suggest contacting your senior’s doctor first and then discuss a specialized routine specifically designed for your healthy aging retiree.
