Could Assisted Stretching be the Secret Weapon?

I saw a friend recently that I haven’t seen in many months. We both were attending a birthday party for a mutual friend. She has taken classes at my studio in the past. 

She shocked us as she told us how much better she feels now that she stretches at home every day.

She put on a display showing us all the stretches she was doing. She encouraged everyone to start stretching and told them that I would show them how!  

Whoa, hold the phone!

I have to be honest:

I had not seen her in forever and had no idea that she was this enthusiastic about Assisted Stretching! I didn’t know how much she loved to stretch and how much it had changed her life. 

She was truly a walking billboard for the benefits of Assisted Stretching! I was floored, honored, and impressed.

She asked me if I thought that stretching might be a “secret weapon”?

“Wow, I have never thought of it that way. I don’t know, but it could be!” I said.

I have not stopped thinking about this since.

Could it be true that Assisted Stretching is a “secret weapon” that keeps us “in the game of life”?

A “secret weapon” is something that no one knows about.

I started thinking about all the professional sports athletes that I have researched and who have credited stretching for keeping them in the game: Roger Federer, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, David Goggin, and Novak Djokovic, to name a few.

They all confess that stretching is a game changer for their longevity in their sport.  

Maybe it’s their “secret weapon”?

When we exercise, we strengthen our muscles, bones, and joints. 

When we stretch, we heal, relieve, and restore them!

Stretching allows our bodies to work more efficiently and at a higher level, without the stress of tight and overly-contracted muscle tissue that weakens our joints, constricts movement, and causes pain & injuries.

HOLY SMOKES!

Stretching truly IS a “secret weapon” for those who know about it and apply it to their lives.

The whole reason that I started The Power To Pause was to educate and inspire the world to stretch by teaching them the amazing benefits of Assisted Stretching.

It is life changing!

It is a game changer!

It is a SECRET WEAPON!

I want you to know about the “secret weapon” so that the benefits can be yours, too!

I am going to be busy letting the “secret” out of the bag until it is no longer a “secret” at all. 

Stretch on, friends!
