As we age, our bodies can become more rigid, particularly in areas like the sternum, which is vital for overall posture and mobility. While the sternum is a bone, it is closely connected to the muscles around it. When those muscles become tight over the years, they can pull on the bone, leading to decreased flexibility, dehydration of tissues, and even bone brittleness.
Why Muscle and Bone Flexibility Matter
You may have noticed how older adults sometimes appear hunched or collapsed in their posture. This isn’t solely due to aging bones—it’s also because of tight, overworked muscles pulling on those bones, reducing their flexibility and vitality. This combination of factors can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and a higher risk of injury.
How We Help At Create Peace FMI
At our Create Peace Functional Movement Studio, we blend Restorative Bodywork techniques, including bone stimulation, to target these issues. By gently releasing tight muscles and encouraging flexibility in the sternum and other critical areas, you can not only improve your posture but also maintain a youthful, vibrant body.
Through specific movements and breathing techniques, such as those that encourage expansion of the thoracic region (the area around the chest and upper back), our techniques helps to restore flexibility and reduce muscle tension. By breathing into the back and thorax while applying gentle pressure with therapeutic tools, you can help hydrate and rejuvenate these areas, improving circulation and mobility.
Keep Your Body Youthful and Strong
Incorporating bone stimulation and fascia release into your routine can counteract the effects of aging, keeping both your muscles and bones more flexible. This holistic approach helps you stay strong, upright, and energized.
