Why stretch your Pectoral Muscles? Stretching your pectoral (pec) muscles is important for improving chest flexibility, correcting poor posture, reducing shoulder tightness, and preventing upper body injuries. We tend to work with our hands in front of us, especially if you work on the computer/laptop a lot. This stretch helps open the whole chest area along with pushing back your shoulders so you are not as hunched over.

Stand in an open doorway, raise one arm (or both arms if the doorway isn't too large) to 90 degrees with palm facing forward. Slowly step forward with one foot, leaning into the stretch through your pecs. Hold this stretch for 15 seconds and relax. Repeat to the other side is only stretching one side at a time.

Why stretch your Adductor muscles? Stretching the adductor muscles is important because it improves inner thigh flexibility, enhances hip mobility, helps prevent groin injuries, and supports better balance and posture during movement.
The adductor muscles are often forgotten about so it is important to stretch them.

I've had to change to stick figure drawings as my wooden doll model doesn't have the flexibility of doing the butterfly stretch, no adduction movement at the hips 😂😂. So, I hope you understand my drawing - sitting on the floor with the soles of your feet together, knees bent out to the side. Gentle push your knees to the floor.

Why stretch your Quadricep muscles? Stretching your quadriceps helps improve flexibility, reduce muscle tightness, prevent injuries, and support proper knee and hip function. Here are some reasons to include quadricep stretches into your daily stretching routine:
1. Improves Flexibility and Range of Motion - better flexibility means increased range of motion in the hips and knees, which is essential for walking, running, squatting, and other daily activities.
2. Prevents Injury - tight quads can place extra strain on the knees and lower back, increasing the risk of injury.
3. Reduces Muscle Tightness and Soreness - stretching after exercise can help alleviate post-workout muscle tightness and soreness (DOMS - Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
4. Improves Posture and Alignment - tight quadriceps can pull the pelvis forward (anterior pelvic tilt), leading to poor posture and potential lower back discomfort.
5. Enhances Performance - flexible quads contribute to more efficient movement mechanics in sports and exercises.
6. Supports Knee Health - the quads play a key role in stabilizing the knee joint.

Feeling tightness in the front of your upper leg/s or maybe your knee, make an appointment for a massage.

Why stretch your Hamstring muscles? Having tight hamstrings can affect the body in several ways, often leading to discomfort or movement issues. Having tight hamstring muscles can cause:
1. Limited Range of Motion - Tight hamstrings reduce flexibility, making it harder to fully straighten the leg or bend forward.
2. Lower Back Pain - Because tight hamstrings pull on the pelvis, they can cause the pelvis to tilt backward, which puts extra stress on the lower back and can lead to pain or discomfort.
3. Poor Posture - Tight hamstrings can contribute to poor posture by restricting proper pelvic positioning and spinal alignment.
4. Increased Risk of Injury - Limited flexibility in the hamstrings increases the chance of muscle strains, especially during activities involving running, jumping, or sudden movements.
5. Reduced Athletic Performance - Tightness can impair movement efficiency, reducing speed, agility, and power.
6. Altered Gait - It may cause changes in walking or running mechanics, leading to compensation patterns that stress other muscles and joints.

Feeling tightness in the back of your upper leg/s or lower back, make an appointment for a massage.
