How does stretching help the body in our daily life? Stretch therapy in Overland Park is a recent addition to our personal training services at In the Zone Cryo + Health Upgrades. Trainer Rob Garza specializes in stretch and flexibility coaching, assisting clients with their mobility, strength and overall well-being.

So, what are the benefits of stretching?

Benefit #1 Injury Prevention

Preventing injury is key for all ages, but especially for athletes and those 50 and over. Stretching increases your range of motion and therefore can help prevent the body from injury if a fall occurs. 

Benefit #2 Flexibility 

Flexibility is often the first benefit we think of when it comes to stretching. Despite being one of the most obvious of benefits, flexibility gives the body many sly advantages in sports and in our daily lives. Flexibility means our bodies can bend, twist and move more with less pain. So, this allows us to move in ways we couldn’t otherwise, and move with more power and range of motion.

Benefit #3 Increases Blood Flow

Your muscles thrive off of a strong, healthy blood flow in the body. Blood brings nutrients and oxygen to our muscles, allowing them to develop and grow. In addition to healthy muscles, good circulation provides our bodies with benefits such as a strong heart, lower blood pressure as well as mental clarity.

Benefit #4 Improves Posture

Our posture and alignment can be vital to our health as we age. Good posture encourages a strong back, neck as well as shoulders. These areas often develop pain as we grow older, but consistent stretch therapy can prevent this.

Benefit #5 Relaxation 

One of the best parts of stretching is the de-stressing effects it can have on our mental health. Movement can be a wonderful way to release endorphins in addition to clearing our minds. Because stretching has these calming effects on our mental health, it is an excellent way to begin the day or end our workouts.
