  1. 9 Ways Stretching Can Improve Your Health and Wellness

  2. The top 9 benefits of incorporating stretching into your daily life include: 1. Improved Energy. A few good stretches, conducted properly with deep breathing, can give you the burst of energy you need to start off your day. 2. Increased Stamina. A good, long stretching session after a heavy workout can actually improve the stamina of your muscles. When you stretch, it increases the blood flow to those sore muscles and relieves fatigue. 3. Improved Flexibility. A common goal in physical therapy is to improve your flexibility and range of motion. Better flexibility carries a host of benefits. 4. Better Blood Circulation. Blood carries oxygen to your cells and makes you healthier overall.

  3. 5. Improved Posture. Stretching every day can help posture by lengthening certain muscles that have a tendency to tighten up when we sit in a chair for work all day. 6. Decreased Muscle Soreness. Give your muscles plenty of time to relax and loosen up with a good stretch before and after a workout. 7. Improved Cholesterol. Stretching sessions can help to reduce cholesterol in your body, as long as you’re also following a heart-healthy diet. 8. Decreased Risk of Injury. If you work in an office, you may think there’s no risk of getting injured. 9. Decreased Stress. Too much stress can cause your muscles to contract, which can make you feel tense and on-edge.
