3. Loss of mobility and its consequences
Reduced mobility is a gradual process, but it has a major impact on quality of life.
At first, it may seem normal: moving more slowly, feeling stiffness, or losing balance. But when this leads to avoiding activities, the problem worsens.
Less movement means weaker muscles, less independence, and a higher risk of falls. In addition, many people stop attending gatherings or activities due to fear or insecurity.
This creates a difficult cycle to break: less activity leads to more weakness, and more weakness further reduces activity.
The key is to keep moving, even with gentle exercises. Walking, stretching, or participating in adapted activities can help maintain strength, confidence, and independence.
