Stretching for Back Pain Relief
Stretching is a great way to improve your flexibility and mobility. But what exactly is stretching? When we think of flexibility we think about moving around, such as rolling from the back to the front, which is great! However, this is not all stretching is about.
When we stretch, we are actually activating the muscles. The body doesn’t know the difference between muscles and other soft tissue, so as long as they are stretched, the muscles will receive a signal that they are working.
This signal is known as the stretch reflex and the body responds to it by producing a range of muscle contraction that helps the muscle get back to its original position. This helps to prevent injuries from occurring.
We developed this app to help you with any of your stretching needs.
You don’t have to do any of the stretches we have included in this app, but we hope you will and will benefit from them.
Many people get injured by doing stretches incorrectly, and getting your form correct is important. This app has simple stretches to help get you to your goal.
When stretching, it’s important to get the right muscle groups and joints moving, not just the ones you can feel but the ones you cannot feel.
