Stretching is a critical aspect to staying healthy, maintaining strength and stamina, reducing injury and treating muscle pain and dysfunction. There are simple, easy ways to help yourself at home every day to maintain optimum health and fitness.
It is critical that the stretches be performed properly, with good alignment and care to the spine and joints. Never stretch to the point of pain. Always modify your stretch with props so you can easily stay in the stretch and allow the muscles to relax into ot. As they release and relax, you can go deeper into the stretch at that time. Flexibility and strength, proper health and fitness are a Practice, a life choice. Maintenance of your body is an ongoing process that gets easier the more you do it, and the results are lasting and will enhance your quality of life. Like massage, exercize and other body positive practices, stretching is a complimentary preventative measure that can be incorporated easily into your every day routines.
In this Blog, we will demonstrate via youtube videos, verbal and written instruction how to stretch safely and effectively to help you with your specific issue and to continue on to enhance your every day lifestyle.
Better Health for a Better Life
