Did you know that regular stretching can lessen back discomfort and aid to enhance flexibility? Embed morning stretches in your daily routine to see the benefits!
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, a daily stretching routine can have physical and mental benefits for people of all ages. Stretching keeps the muscles loose, which lowers the chance of sprains and strains. What is more, regular stretching can help to correct muscular imbalances and alignment issues, leading to better posture.
