Improved posture
Stretching helps to improve posture by increasing flexibility in the muscles and joints, which helps to make standing, sitting, and walking more comfortable. Stretching can help to strengthen the muscles in the core, neck, and back which helps to maintain proper alignment while standing, sitting, and walking. Regular stretching helps to correct muscular imbalances in the body and also helps to prevent any potential postural problems from occurring.
Enhanced mobility
Stretching and flexibility can help to improve your overall mobility. Mobility refers to the range of movement available to you in different joints, such as your hips, shoulders, spine, and ankles. Increased mobility is beneficial for athletes and everyday people alike, as it can help you perform better during physical activity and even just improve your daily activities. Stretching can help to increase your body’s range of motion, allowing you to move more freely. By increasing your flexibility, you’ll be able to access different muscles during physical activity and use them more efficiently. This improved range of motion can also help to reduce muscle tightness, making it easier to perform day-to-day tasks like bending down or reaching up. Furthermore, increased mobility can help reduce your risk of injury, as your body will be better equipped to handle sudden movements and actions without injury.
