The article presents an assessment and analysis of mobility and pain threshold in the cervico thoracic spine in women 55-65 years of age undergoing preventive treatment with a diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the cervico thoracic spine. It was revealed that in the examined set of parameters of possible movements in the cervical spine, the most problematic positions are flexion and extension. Testing of the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine was performed on ten positions, the assessment of which revealed the need not only to restore painless movement in the cervico thoracic spine, but also to activate mobility in the shoulder joints. Since, as a result of age-related changes, in 90% of cases, the mobility in the shoulder joints decreases and, as a result, the variety of movements is limited. The paper considers the possibility of influencing the musculo-ligamentous apparatus of elderly women. Massage exercises are presented, with a detailed description of the technique and methodology for using the developed self-massage movements in an independent mode. The main purpose of which is to restore the mobility of the cervico thoracic spine, improve the elasticity of the muscles of the investigated spine and restore the normalization of blood and lymph circulation in the most important part of the spine.

Background:: The relationship between the increases in pulse pressure (PP) and arterial stiffness determined by aging or systemic hypertension has been widely reported. These findings are supported by large-cohort analysis conducted in well-known populations, such as the Framingham Study. However, there is evidence that an age-PP curvilinear relationship may exist in hypertensive subjects. This study aimed to evaluate the age-related change in pulse pressure and arterial stiffness in a population-based study. Methods:: Carotid femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cfPWV) were obtained in 2075 subjects. Results:: Age-related changes of PP showed a curvilinear relationship (R=0.39, p<0.0001) in normotensive subjects, with a nadir at around 50 years of age. On the other hand, the age-cfPWV relationship showed a linear and positive correlation (R=0.72, p<0.0001). PP also showed a curvilinear relationship with age (R=0.36, p<0.0001) in hypertensive subjects, with a nadir around 50 years of age. The age-cfPWV relationship showed a linear and positive correlation (R=0.55, p<0.0001). Similar results were observed in the adult population (age≥16 years). Multivariate analysis showed that age, sex, cfPWV, and mean arterial pressure are determinants of PP values in the entire population; however, this result is not uniform when the different subgroups are analyse. Conclusion:: In conclusion, age-related changes in PP showed a curvilinear relationship and no parallelism with the age-cfPWV relationship for both normotensive and hypertensive subjects. The determinants of PP impact it differently depending on age and the pathological condition of the subject.
