Fortis orthopaedic surgeon shares how older adults can protect their shoulders

With age, the bones grow old, and movements become challenging. The joints, in particular, are responsible for all the movements, both big and small. But as one grows old, the once easy motion may feel painful. Out of all the joints, there's one joint that doesn't get as much attention as the knee or hip joint.

Dr Manit Arora, orthopaedics and sports medicine surgeon at Fortis Hospital in Mohali, shared with HT Lifestyle that the shoulder joint is one of the most vulnerable joints.“The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, which makes it prone to wear and tear”, Dr Arora explained.

Movements become severely limited, reducing one's ability to move independently. Even small tasks start to feel overwhelming. He added, "Ignoring the shoulder joint and its associated issues can make even simple tasks, like dressing, cooking, or reaching for objects, difficult.”

That's why your shoulder joints require as much attention as your knee or hip joints. Including simple exercises that strengthen and stretch the shoulders can help improve flexibility, prevent stiffness and keep you independent as you grow older.

Dr Arora listed these 4 things older adults need to do, from which exercises they can incorporate in their routine to what they should avoid:

Your shoulders take care of most of the upper body movements, from lifting to pulling. As the doctor revealed earlier that it is the most mobile; stiffness can show up in the shoulders. However, with a little daily care, from limiting certain types of movements or adding gentle exercises, you can safeguard your shoulder joints and prevent long-term pain and restricted mobility.
