Over 45 & Feeling Good
Ready to Feel Better in Your Body?
If you’re over 45 and want to stay strong, flexible, and injury-free, stretching needs to be part of your routine. And you don’t have to figure it out alone! We can make it simply fit into your life.
I’m now taking new clients, and I’d love to help you move and feel better. Let’s chat about how we can get started—message me today!
You are not alone in this! The truth is, around age 40 ish people start to notice changes in their body:
Stiffness in the morning that takes longer to shake off
Aches and pains that aren’t from working out
Balance or coordination seems off (ever tripped over absolutely nothing?)
Decreased range of motion, making everyday activities harder
These changes aren’t just “part of getting older”—they’re often the result of not moving enough or not moving correctly. The good news? Stretching, when done regularly, can reverse a lot of these issues.
The Benefits of Stretching for Healthy Aging
1️⃣ Improves Flexibility & Range of Motion
Over time, muscles and connective tissues naturally tighten. Stretching helps keep joints mobile and prevents stiffness, making movement easier and more fluid. According to the National Institute on Aging, flexibility exercises can help people maintain independence longer.
2️⃣ Reduces Pain & Prevents Injuries
Tight muscles create imbalances in the body, which can lead to pain, poor posture, and a greater risk of injury. Research shows that people who stretch regularly experience fewer muscle-related injuries than those who don’t (Harvard Health). Translation: Less “ouch” when you stand up.
3️⃣ Enhances Balance & Stability
Falls are a major concern as we age, and loss of flexibility plays a role in that. Stretching helps keep muscles engaged and strong, improving balance and coordination. According to the CDC, 1 in 4 Americans over 65 falls each year (source). The good news? A well-balanced stretching routine can keep you upright and confident—no more unexpected run-ins with the floor.
4️⃣ Boosts Circulation & Recovery
Stretching increases blood flow to muscles and joints, helping with recovery, inflammation, and overall mobility. Better circulation means faster healing and less soreness (because let’s face it, we don’t bounce back quite like we used to).
5️⃣ Supports Mental Well-Being
Movement, especially stretching, releases tension not just in the body but also in the mind. Many people report feeling more relaxed, energized, and in tune with their bodies after stretching regularly. Plus, it’s a great excuse to take a break from emails and doomscrolling.
