Increased flexibility and proper balance in the body lowers the risk of injury and recovery time related to exercise and sports.
Pain Relief – Targeted stretching helps alleviate muscle tension reducing chronic pain due to injury, joint pain, muscle soreness and inflammation in the body. Stretching routines also help in injury and pain prevention. A combination of strengthening and stretching specific muscle groups can reduce musculoskeletal pain and encourage proper alignment improving posture and over-all balance in the body.
Reduce Stress and Improve Mental Health – Yoga Stretch Therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the body’s rest and digest state, reducing secretion of the stress hormone cortisol. Muscles tend to tighten up in response to physical and emotional stress, stretching allows for the focus on areas of the body where stress tension is held, such as the neck, shoulders, low/upper back and hips. Stretching increases blood and oxygen flow allowing tension in the body to ease, thus creating a calming state while improving mental clarity.
