Do you only have a short stretch just before going for a run, playing sports, lifting weights, or possibly after you actually get an injury? When we don’t stretch, and our everyday activities such as driving, sitting in a chair, or looking at a screen cause the muscles to tighten and get shorter or weaker, it can lead to a reduction in range of motion and flexibility, create significant pain or even increase our risk for injuries. How are you feeling right now, tension and pain across the shoulders? Discomfort in the lower back? Legs feeling heavy and sluggish? Regular mobility exercises and stretching has been shown to increase range of motion, flexibility, blood flow to muscles; it also reduces stress, improves posture, among many other benefits. Do you need to consider getting more mobility and flexibility exercises into your week? Come and invest a couple of hours into learning some great mobility and flexibility exercises in our upcoming workshop that you can put into your weekly routine: ☀️Move Freely, Stretch & Release Workshop☀️ Sunday 2nd June 10.30-12.30 Emma Evans £25 Book: [email protected] #investinyourhealth #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway #getupandmove #strechingpilates

Does it feel a long way down to your toes? 😆 Often one of the first things we notice when we are not attending our usual Pilates or Yoga class regularly is stiffness and tightness creeping back into our body. Perhaps it's when we try to get our shoes on or pick up something from the floor or just getting up from sitting to standing - wow - it feels locked up! This may have you wondering why do you feel so much better when you stretch? Well… 🙆♀️ Firstly stretching helps to clear your mind by allowing you to focus on your body. Stretching can be a great way to centre and prepare yourself physically and mentally either for a busy day a head or to put down worries in order to be ready for sleep. 🙆 Stretching releases our 'happy' endorphins. This is because the movement activates your parasympathetic nervous system aka the system generally responsible for your body's ability to rest, digest, and recover. 🙆♂️ Blood flow to the muscles increases after a long stretch and this helps to remove toxins and bring fresh oxygen and nutrients to help awaken our muscles. 🙆♀️ Tight, tense muscles begin to create aches and pains that can be very uncomfortable and upsetting. Gently moving your joints will help to gradually bring mobility and flexibility back to all the tissue around the painful area, helping you feel better, as well as improve your alignment and posture. So do you best to do a little stretch every day and you will soon feel the positive results! 💛

These are the tools I am working with to help improve #oxygenation all over the body • • #theragun of @therabody is a #percussivetherapy device, the rapid pulses on targeted areas indice blood flow to the #softtissue. It helps to #warmup muscles, improve #performance, #relaxation and #stressrelief. • • The #recoverypump increases the #bloodcirculation of the legs, through the sequence of applying compression it gets rid of #toxins in the body and restores the natural delivery of #oxygen and nutrient to the muscles • • #theragun #recoverypumpboots #stretchologist #assistedstretching #bodypositive #stretching #dancers #athlete #muscles #thestretchguy_ #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway.
Sunday bumday brought to you by my movement session at the park yesterday. I swear I had my pelvis tucked but this is as tucked as it gets 🤷🏻♀️ shortly after stretching I started to freestyle and a nice breeze blew in and leaves around me began to fall and move with me and it felt truely magical. I LIVE for moments like that, where I feel fully connected..to my body, to me, to my surroundings- those are the moments I will always remember ❤️ #sundaybumday #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway #naturelover

Today is going to be a stretch day..... definitely feeling the need for it in my lower back #adventuresofamumtum #thisismybodyconfidencejourney #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. As well as generating natural body lube to your joints . #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway #southflorida #miamigardens #browardcounty #miami #floridachiropracticassociation #chirpractor #streching

You know what's a better version of a Head to Toe pose? A Head-to-toe with a side bend. . . F.L.E.X.I.B.I.L.I.T.Y at it's best! . . To keep your body healthy and strong, you need to correct the imbalances caused by sitting all day at a desk and performing repetitive movements. Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage. . . #whywestretch #cooldown #warmup #stretching #gravityfitnesspk #stretches #flexibility #flexibilitytraining #astretchadaykeepsthestressaway #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway #stretchquotes #astretchaday #poststretch #prestretch #warmupstretch #cooldownstretch #fitness #fitfam #fitgirl #gymgirl

Ohne Pause immer weiter sporteln - oft hast du vielleicht den Eindruck, sportliche Menschen sind immer in Aktion. Dabei ist es gerade die Pause oder Regenerationszeit, in der der Körper stärker wird. Daher gönn dir deine Auszeiten, unbedingt! Nicht nur im Sport, sondern auch in deinem Alltag. Ich weiß selbst, dass das nicht einfach ist, daher halte dir vor Augen, dass die Bewegung und die Erholung als Päckchen zusammen kommen. Vielleicht hilft dir das. #trainsmartnothard #regeneration #stretching #childspose #darmstadt #training #personaltrainer #movewellmoveoften #dontforgettostretch #keepyourbodyhealthy #yogis #pilatesinstructor #spinecare #healthyback #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway

DID YOU KNOW? Stretching improves your blood circulation. This means better transportation of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Improved blood flow also results in healthier muscles and organs. It uplifts your mood especially in these gloomy winter days. A little twisting, bending and controlled breathing helps you fight anxiety. #astretchadaykeepsthedoctoraway #maketimeforyourself #starttoday #healthybody #healthymind

I’ve come to realize stretching is just as important as the workout you do. After a hard workout, stretching your muscles helps keep them loose and lessens the shortening and tightening effect that can lead to post-workout aches and pains.
