Noticeable Physical Changes above 40years old
• Loss of skin elasticity –appearance of wrinkles, dry and scaly skin
• Slow down of metabolic rate, gradual weight gain, more fat deposition around the abdominal area
• Loss of muscle tone – saddle hips, flabby arms, spare tires around the waist
• General weakness
• Joint pain and muscle ache

Subtle Changes of the Physical Body
• Hormonal changes
o Menopause symptoms – irregular period, shorter cycles
o Loss of muscle tone - incontinence
o Loss of bone mass – osteoporosis
o Hair thinning
• Soft tissues changes – loss of collagen elasticity
o Stiffening of the blood vessels wall
o Increase cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels
o Stiffening of the muscles, including the heart
• Declining brain and memory function
o Declining oestrogen level may relate to deteriorating cognitive function
• Gradual deterioration in vision and hearing

Physiological changes and the implications on body postures, joints, muscles, bones, cartilage and discs health
• Loss of muscle tone
o Less shock absorption on impact and loading e.g. walking, stair climbing, running and jumping
o Easily sustain sprains and injuries especially the neck, back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees
• Loss of soft tissue elasticity
o Stiffening of the blood vessels wall
o Stiffening of the muscles – ability to contract and pump blood
o Poor circulation
o Prone to muscle aches, knots in the muscles

.Discs act as weight absorber, the sponges between the spinal bones, like suspension in a car.
It degenerates with TIME, with INACTIVITYand injury.

Movement changes the pressure in the discs and joints, keeps them supple and healthy.
However, with stagnant positions due to poor postures and tight muscles, these can cause long term unhealthy pressure on the joints and discs, which leads early
degeneration, causing pain and discomfort.

Compare a tall, straight and even spine vs a crooked spine, can you imagine the pressure and stresses this has on the
neighbouring structures in the long run? And you ask, “why do I have pain?”

Early signs of muscles, cartilage and joints degeneration
• Sense of stiffness around the neck and back in the morning, goes off gradually once you started moving.
• Clicking joints e.g. shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees and ankles.
• Increasing frequency of muscle ache, till a point you need to apply medicated plaster, heat rub or seek medical treatment.
• Degeneration is silent and gradual, but it hastens during the middle age and post menopause.
