Stretching is often overlooked as an important part of the puzzle when it comes to staying active and maintaining function as you age. Stretching for just 10-15 minutes a day can make you feel healthier and more mobile.
An example of a safe, easy stretch you can do for your hamstring is to straighten one leg while sitting in a chair and reach towards your extended leg with your hand. Hold for a few seconds and then repeat on the opposite side. Make sure you feel a stretch but no pain!
If you feel as though there are limiting factors impacting your ability to stretch and exercise, reach out to your doctor or our physical therapy office to help you get back on track.
