A lack of flexibility can contribute to physical “feebleness,” especially as we age. When the body is inflexible, it limits range of motion and can make daily activities harder, leading to a loss of strength, balance, and coordination. This rigidity can make older adults more prone to muscle strains, joint pain, and even falls. Flexibility exercises—like stretching, yoga, or even dynamic movements—help counteract this by keeping muscles and joints mobile, supporting strength, and maintaining independence.
