Benefits of Stretching
Stretching is just about the simplest of all physical activities. It is the perfect antidote for long periods of inactivity and holding still. Regular stretching throughout the day will:
- Reduce muscle tension
- Improve circulation
- Reduce anxiety, stress, and fatigue
- Improve mental alertness
- Decrease the risk of injury
- Make your work easier
- Tune your mind into your body
- Make you feel better!
If You Are Injured
Please note: If you have an injury or any type of recurring soreness see a doctor or health care provider now. These stretches are not intended to cure serious problems. If you have the symptoms of a repetitive strain injury, some damage has already been done. If you do not take the right steps, damage could be permanent.
