Most people who go to the gym love to lift weights but don't stretch out before or after their workout. It is recommended to warm up before and after exercise. Not only that, even if you are not working out, stretching keeps your body loose, helps with blood flow and keeps your joints lubricated. This leads to better long term mobility and less pain and dysfunction with age. To learn more, contact our San Francisco CA chiropractic clinic today.

Why Does Stretching Help In San Francisco CA?

Stretching before a workout helps to get your muscles ready for the load you are about to put on it and helps prevent injuries. Added loads put additional pressure on muscles. Without proper elasticity, it muscles can give way and rip muscle tissue (ouch!). To prevent injuries, always stretch! We tighten up more and more as we get older so stretching and improving our flexibility and balance are key to living a pain free and healthy life.

Movement is life and the better you move, the better your life will be. If you want to keep your spine, limbs and body moving the way it should to prevent injuries, contact Dr. Amie Gregory!
