Are you performing static stretches on a regular basis?

If yes, do you know long you should hold your stretch to improve flexibility?

One popular study cited over 800 times from Bandy et al. Looked at hamstring flexibility and compared different hold durations.

Participants performed stretches 5 days a week for 6 weeks holding for 30-60 seconds.

They found that this method was more effective for improving flexibility of the hamstrings when compared to stretching for 15 seconds or no stretching at all.

This study looks at the hamstrings however, this principle is true for other muscle groups as well such as stretching the calves and the hip flexors.

Make sure you hold your stretches for at least 30 seconds!

Feeling some general hip tightness or do you sit several hours a day at a desk?

If yes, then this quick stretch may help you out!

Just grab a foam roller and follow the steps in this quick video! This technique is for releasing the piriformis muscle which often gets tight from sitting long periods each day or overactivity. This muscle is located at the lateral sides of the hip.

Try stretching this muscle for 1-3 minutes.

Improve your scapular strength with one simple exercise!

Getting hand/wrist pain while using a regular knife while cutting food in the kitchen?

Try using the rocker knife to cut food with less nagging pain. They are very effective and safer for individuals with hand arthritis or after traumatic injuries preventing use of a regular kitchen knife.

Also great for anyone looking for an alternative tool for cutting food.

Try it out for yourself!

Avoid neck pain while using your cell phone!

Try giving yourself a hug with one arm and using it as support for your other arm holding the phone. This allows you to place the phone in a position optimal for your eyes to look at without your arm getting tired quickly.

Are you getting neck pain from sitting at your desk too long?

Here are a couple stretches for the upper trapezius and levator scapula muscles which commonly become tense after long hours of sitting causing neck discomfort.

⏱Hold these for 30 seconds to 1 minute each to get the full benefits from static stretching.

Make sure your workspace is optimal for your body. Helpful tips include: adjusting the computer screen height to eye level, having a chair at the right height and having your arms neutral while using a keyboard (elbows by your side).

Fix up your posture to prevent back pain while sitting using one simple trick!

Grab a long towel, long-fold it and roll it up. Place it on the low back curve for better support!

Ideal for chairs with no back support or deep chairs.

Remember that if you sit for 6-8 hours a day, you should stand up every hour and get your body moving in some way whether it be stretching, body weight exercises or walking. This is great to counteract the consequences of sitting long hours in one place.

Let us know what you think and we will be happy to share more simple pain prevention tricks!
