Stretching prevents inflammation and scar tissue development, stress point build-up and trigger point formation.
Improves the range of motion, relaxes and tones muscles.
Stretching increases flexibility to avoid muscle strain and ligament sprain.
Increases the flow of energy and relieves pressure on nerves.
Stretching improves the tone of the muscle fibres and the elasticity of the ligaments and the joint capsules.
Reduces muscle tension and therefore prevents muscle pulls, a pre-stretched muscle resists stress better than an unstretched muscle.
Stretching increases elasticity of the muscles, tendons and ligaments. This allows freer, easier, more controlled and quicker movements, resulting in better co-ordination.
