osture and Flexibility are important components to our health and well-being. Together they help prevent tight muscles, injuries, headaches, and body discomfort. Our digestion, mood and even our appearance benefit. We know we need to stretch but it can be challenging to get started, especially with certain injuries or limitations in mobility. Assisted Stretching Techniques are when our muscles are relaxed, and someone stretches our bodies for us. We can stretch a bit farther than we can on our own. Assisted Stretching can help get us to a daily routine if we feel inflexible or are recovering from an injury. There are a variety of techniques incorporated by different health professionals. These are three of my favorites, but I would encourage you to do research on others.
