🤸♀️ The Key to Mobility: Stretching or Strength?
Stretching or strength training? Which form of movement is the key to your current well-being and mobility goals? Both are essential, but they serve different, vital purposes in maintaining independence:
Strength Training: This is the foundation for performing daily activities, like lifting groceries, standing up from a chair, or carrying a grandchild. Strength training builds the muscle necessary for endurance and power.
Stretching: This is key for flexibility and range of motion. It allows you to reach, bend, and twist without pain, making tasks like dressing, tying shoes, or reaching high cabinets much easier and safer. Stretching helps prevent muscle stiffness and injuries.
To achieve optimal well-being, most Occupational and Physical Therapists will recommend a balanced combination, but we want to hear your focus!
Which one do you rely on most right now to achieve your mobility goals?
