Greetings once again from your Winder-area assisted living and Winder memory care community here at Gateway Gardens. As we age, our joints lose fluid and our muscles lose elasticity, leading to a natural decrease in flexibility. Seniors who lose flexibility find it hard to complete normal daily tasks like getting up from chairs or walking up and down stairs, let alone more complicated chores like cooking and cleaning.

The CDC recommends that adults 65 and older get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week to help with strength and balance. More specifically, routine range of motion exercises can strengthen muscles and maintain flexibility. At Gateway Gardens Assisted Living and Memory Care, we work with residents to ensure they remain flexible to avoid issues with tight muscles and injuries.

Reasons for Range of Motion Exercises

Our cherished residents here at Gateway Gardens thrive with help from our experienced nursing staff whose care services involve encouraging strength, balance, and range of motion exercises. We understand how these exercises can benefit our aging community members. Consider a few of the benefits:

• Decreased Risk of Injury

• Better Balance


• Improved Flexibility


• Less Arthritic Pain


• Increased Muscle Strength


• Good Posture
