Importance of Stretching

Did You Know Stretching plays an important part in physical and mental health with a wide range of benefits to promote a healthy lifestyle? Stretching helps promote blood circulation throughout the body by loosening the muscles and relieving the pressure to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the tissues, muscles, and tendons. The increased blood flow helps to remove toxins from the body aiding healing, shortening recovery time, and decrease inflammation. Stretching lengthens the muscles and increases flexibility which is critical for range of motion and reduces the pressure on the joints. This improves balance, posture, and overall muscular strength. A regular stretching routine can reduce pain from common areas such as the neck, shoulders, joints, legs, and back which often are stressors in our day-to-day life. It can also decrease tension headaches and promotes better sleep. Integrate stretching into your daily routine and live a healthier lifestyle with better performance in everything you do!
