Decrease Pain, Increase Mobility

Don’t take it from us. Take it from the Washington Post. As reported by health and wellness columnist Gretchen Reynolds, “If your body is flexible, you’re likely to live longer than someone whose body and joints are tight and rigid, according to the first, large-scale study of the links between flexibility and mortality.” 

In the study by Claudio Gil S. Araujo, 3,139 men and women between ages 46 and 65 completed an evaluation of overall flexibility. Researchers followed them for more than a decade. They found that people with the stiffest joints — especially women — were substantially more likely to die prematurely than those with greater flexibility.

 Assisted stretching decreases pain, improves posture and mobility, and increases longevity. Lance Lira, who owns Nature's Presence and is featured in the photo above, said " I give it a 10 out of 10 - it's great!"

THE BOERNE BONUS

Scam Alert: Be Vigilant, Boerne

Scammers are calling local residents pretending to be from Kendall County Adult Probation. They claim that in order to release a loved one from jail, you must purchase a GPS tracking device and provide personal information. This is a scam. Law enforcement will NEVER request payments or personal information over the phone.

If you get a call like this, hang up immediately and report it to the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office.
