Why do we need to stretch?

  • It is important to understand how stretching can help you stay active as you get older 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.

  • Move better, in a wider range of motion
  • Reduce tightness
  • Improve your posture & joint range of motion
  • Improve circulation
  • Decrease your risk of injury
