There are many different causes for lack of Mobility that can cause your body a lot of damage. Mobility is one of the key drivers in maintaining good health, reducing muscle wastage and fighting off infections.

Mobility can be a wide range of things which occur through one of many symptoms. Different symptoms have different affects; you could be bedridden or struggling to move a part of your body. When suffering from mobility problems you cannot necessarily do a lot of things that you used to be able to do.

A person’s quality of life can be made a lot easier through improved muscle tone, strength, balance, coordination, and mobility. If the person has suffered ill health or is recovering from an injury and not exercised for a while, they must start slow. Even walking 10 minutes per day will give them great benefits.

Emotional implications.

As strength and mobility decrease, the person’s independence decreases and their reliance upon others increases, which can lead to emotional problems, not only for the sufferer but family members and friends who have to help them with their daily tasks.

Complications of inactivity and immobility.

Prolonged periods of inactivity and immobility can cause health complications in almost every major part of the body system:

• Long periods of bed rest make it difficult to expand the lungs fully. This increases the risk of lung infections
• Bed rest leaves blood to pool, particularly in the legs. Blood pressure overtime decreases as the risk of blood clots increases. Swelling is common symptom
• Pressure sores may develop quickly because the oxygen supply is curtailed and pressure is elevated

Common causes of mobility problems may include:

Your immobility may be due to:

• Lack of sleep
• Joint pain
