The Importance of Stretching
Dr. Joe Explains Value in Adding Stretching to Your Routine
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.
Stretching is an important practice to add to your daily routine, to help you on your way to better health. Even if you don’t exercise, it is still important to stretch in order for your body to gain the benefits.
Daily stretching will improve your flexibility, while at the same time strengthen your muscles and encourage proper alignment and posture. Also, because stretching allows for an increased blood flow throughout the body, you will not only feel refreshed but it will also increase your energy levels.
So, whether you’re at home or work, add this to your daily routine for about 5-10 minutes a day, and feel the difference. If you have additional questions, give our team at Johns Creek Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Johns Creek a call today!
