What are the benefits of a regular stretching program?
The greatest benefit of stretching is the prevention of injury and postural imbalance. By making a stretching program part of your daily routine, you are contributing to your overall health by enhancing optimal circulation, range of motion of your joints, proper muscle length, and helping to keep your spine in proper alignment. All of this means that; you will feel more energetic, experience less aches and pains throughout the day, and will probably sleep better too. The earlier in life that a stretching routine is implemented the easier it is to prevent chronic muscle tightness as well as promote healthy postural habits [However, it is never too late to start!]. If you have questions about proper stretching technique, just ask your RMT on your next visit.
