The Aging Foot & Fasica Changes

As we age, our fascia or our connective tissue undergoes changes.

There are three main aspects of fascia or connective tissue that we need to maintain as we age.
1. Hydration, which involves keeping the tissue hydrated through movement.
2. Elasticity, or the rubber band effect, which can be maintained through dynamic, ballistic movements.
3. Tension or stability, achieved through isometric exercises.

Focusing on these three features will help preserve the health of your fascia and connective tissue throughout the aging process.
