Do we need to stretch? It is important to understand how stretching can help… AND how to stretch correctly.
It's about daily things, bending down to tie a shoe, walking upstairs, just getting up off the couch!
Improving your mobility makes your daily activities easier - "you can move more freely".
Staying flexible is good, it helps you:
- Move better, in a wider range of motion
- Reduce tightness
- Improve your posture & joint range of motion
- Improve circulation
- Decrease your risk of injury
