Stretching returns muscles to their proper, relaxed length and benefits over all flexibitly .
What are the benefits and why should you do it?
Stretching is a way to lengthen muscle fibers and keep them supple and flexible!
Passive and active stretching are ways to increase flexibility. When you help perform the stretches it is called a "passive" stretch.
By stretching you increase range of motion and reduce tension on joints, tendons and connective tissue.
Free range of motion means more power, better coordination and less injuries.
With stretching a neuro-muscular function called proprioception is enhanced, which allows more fluid and synchronized motion.
The results of massage therapy can be enhanced by stretching on a regular basis.
