Notes: Dr. Bob Arnot’s, “Wear and Tear”
As we age, muscles weaken and shorten, causing damage to our joints and musco-skeletal structure. We develop “old man syndrome” prematurely. Because our bodies are kinetic chains, weakening and tightening in one area leads to problems in other areas.
The Solution: stretch & strengthen!
According to Arnot, we can restore our joints and muscle-bone structure through Yoga and deep, restorative stretching.
