Musculoskeletal range of movement (neck, knees, shoulders, wrist and waist) should always be mainteained to the best degree possible so in a sense (as they say), 'Use it or lsoe it".
As you know, when we get older, sarcopenia sets in, i.e. a gradual loss of muscle strength and it is even worse today with the lack of physical activity that we do when compared to 4 decader ago.
Too often we blame age but it i is actually ourselves with self limiting behaviours that allows for sarcopenia to become as we think!
