  1. Stretching for Heart Health: Relieve Stress and Live Longer

  2. How Stretching Can Help The biggest benefit of stretching for heart health is that it can help to significantly lower stress levels, which will stop many long-term health effects caused by chronic stress. When one is stressed out, the sympathetic nervous system is working too hard, which can cause inflammation and high blood pressure.

  3. The Kika Method At Kika Stretch Studios, we use The Kika Method, which is a fully assisted form of passive stretching. This is ideal for those looking to boost heart health, as it is the most relaxing and easy form of stretching out there. You would be able to just relax as the stretch coach gently stretches your entire body from head to toe, allowing you to focus on breathing which will lower blood pressure and heart rate. It has great cardiovascular benefits as it brings blood flow and breath to all muscle groups. In addition to all of this, the stretch coaches will modify the routine to fit the specific health needs of each client, so you are guaranteed maximum benefit from the session.

  4. 3 Heart Healthy Stretching Exercises Stretching exercises and physical activity is imperative to heart health and blood vessels. In order to keep yourself young and healthy, you should be pairing stretching with your exercise program, whether it is aerobic exercise, regular exercise, exercise for weight loss, or even flexibility exercises. These stretches will help with muscle soreness and relaxation, to aid in various types of exercise. Use exercise to warm up major muscle groups beforehand and then release any built-up tension with these stretches afterwards.

  7. Lying Hamstring Stretch If you have tight hamstrings, but can’t place your head below your heart for health reasons, this stretch is a great alternative to typical hamstring stretches. Begin by finding a wall that you can rest your legs against. Lay on the floor and place both feet on the wall above you. Move closer to the wall slowly, trying to get the back of your legs to rest fully against the wall. Stop when you feel a stretch, and slowly move closer to the wall as you feel ready. Hold this position for 30-second intervals, moving closer as you see fit.
