Over time, our muscles naturally shorten, becoming stiff and uncomfortable.
Muscle tightness is aggravated by long hours sitting at a desk, frequent travel, and the natural passing of time.
With muscle tightness, our posture also deteriorates.
We often experience lower back pain and neck and shoulder tension.
Tasks that were once easy to perform become more difficult. We fear injury and become more cautious in our everyday lives. We experience restrictions in what our bodies can do.
Even when we are still young and exercise regularly, without adequate stretching before and after a workout, our muscles tighten.
Tight muscles are more prone to tear or experience spasms. We all know too well that when we suffer an injury, the road to recovery is long, and even longer as we get older. So, better to prevent injury altogether so we can continue living the life we aspire to.
