Stretch Me Now… Or Stretch Me Later: Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Start Stretching
In these past few months, I have been given the really high honor to be able to work with several students who are new to stretching. Working with them has strengthened my belief that “stretch me now or stretch me later” is so very true!
Almost every new student has said to me, “I wish I had met you 10 years ago.”
Maybe they would not have gotten so stuck in the bodies?
Maybe they could have avoided surgeries?
Maybe they would have been more active and been able to live with less pain?
You see, our bodies naturally decrease in flexibility and range of motion by 10% each decade—unless we help to reverse it by stretching!
Our muscles won’t become less tight without effort. We will only get tighter and tighter as we age, until our joints can’t take it anymore and they give way to injury and pain.
There is hope though: You CAN get relief and not be stuck in our bodies.
You CAN open up tight muscle tissue, and create pathways for blood and oxygen to flow, energizing your body.
You CAN stand tall, with less pressure and pain in your back and knees.
You CAN sleep better and step out of bed in the morning without pain.
Assisted Stretching can offer that relief.
I know that it sounds so simple—because it is!
We fill our days with lots of activities, and most think that they do not have time for another thing, especially to stretch!
But I ask you…
What if stretching is the missing link to your overall health and well-being?
What if stretching is a secret weapon that can help keep you mobile?
What if stretching is the one thing your body needs most of all?
What if you took a chance and added just 10 minutes of stretching each day to your busy life?
I encourage you to give it a try! I truly believe it can change your life, keeping you active, mobile, healthy, and free of pain.
