The Value of Stretching and Strengthening Your Body
Exercise, in general, has shown some important benefits for individuals struggling with injuries, chronic pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. For instance, aerobic exercise enhances blood circulation and fluid drainage, which can help control swelling and feed more healing oxygen to the tissues.
Stretching and strengthening exercises promise some special benefits of their own. Stretches can release pent-up muscle tension and limber up the tissues to ease muscle spasms, making the everyday motion more comfortable, and reduce your injury risk. Strengthening also reduces injury risk by granting extra stability to the key muscle groups that maintain your posture, symmetry, and balance.
Stretching Exercises to Keep Your Tissues Flexible
Dr. Molesky will evaluate your current range of motion and medical status before prescribing stretching exercises. Common stretches that help to manage pain and improve flexibility include:
- Forward, backward, and side neck tilts to loosen neck muscles
- Downward neck release exercises to free up the back of the neck
- Shoulder rolls to relax the tissues connecting your shoulders to your neck
- Cobra stretches, cat-cow stretches, spinal bridges, and seated spinal twists to improve mid-back flexibility
- Stretches that target the pelvic girdle, knees, wrists, tailbone, or lower back
