Stretches and Exercises

Stretching is a great way to increase your range of motion and to decrease muscle tension. Before you begin your stretching routine each day you will need to do a quick warm up. This can consist of a short jog or brisk walk to warm up your legs. If your stuck at your desk and your neck is bothering you do a couple of neck rolls and then begin your stretches. The muscles need to be warmed up to help prevent injury.

This posted video shows you a few different types of stretches. This program is intended to target all the major muscles groups and is very easy to do at home or even work. It takes a small amount of equipment and each exercise can be done individually to suit your needs. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

Having a strong core will not only give you the body you want but will also help to decrease your chances of having lower back pain. It also helps to increase your coordination and balance. There is a group of core muscles that wrap around your waist and provides support for weight-bearing activities. If this group is strong and balanced your chances of falling decreases and your chances of having lower back pain decrease.
