You might say you don’t have time to stretch because you have kids. But here’s an idea—stretch with them.

Teaching children to stretch twice a day not only sets a healthy routine, it gives them a lifelong habit they’ll thank you for. Imagine them growing up free of joint pain because they learned early how to care for their bodies.

Start now, and make it a family routine that supports long-term wellness—for you and them.

Most people think stretching is just for athletes or fitness buffs. Not true.
We all need to stretch—every day.

Why? Because every muscle crosses a joint to move our body. Throughout the day, our muscles contract microscopically, even when we’re not active. Over time, this creates joint tension and compression, which can contribute to osteoarthritis (OA).

I recommend stretching twice a day.
Hold each stretch for 30 seconds, repeat both sides twice, and never push into pain.

A few mindful minutes each day can make a lifetime of difference.

There are over 100 types of arthritis that affect humans, and the most common is osteoarthritis (OA). Medical News Today states, “OA is a degenerative joint disease that worsens over time. Currently, there is no cure for this condition.”

But here’s what the medical world often overlooks: OA is frequently triggered by tight muscles. Whether we’re active or sedentary, our muscles contract microscopically all day long, creating tension that compresses our joints.

Has your doctor ever recommended daily stretching, therapeutic massage, or even an Epsom salt bath? Probably not. Why? Because these simple tools calm the nervous system and remind your muscles of their true, relaxed length.

I encourage my clients to stretch twice a day, hold each stretch for 30 seconds, do both sides twice, and never push into pain.

More on OA tomorrow…

“Why does my shoulder hurt when the problem is actually in my neck?”
Welcome to the mystery of trigger point pain—a common yet often misunderstood cause of chronic discomfort.

Trigger points are hyperirritable spots in tight muscle fibers, and here’s the tricky part: they often refer pain away from the actual source. That means the pain you feel in your arm, back, or jaw may not be coming from that area at all. It’s like chasing shadows—leaving many people frustrated, trying to stretch, rub, or medicate the wrong spot.

That’s where trained hands and a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal system come in.

As a Board-Certified Therapist in Orthopedic Manual Therapy, I don’t just treat where it hurts—I find why it hurts. I trace the pain back to its origin, work through the trigger points, and help restore movement and relief where your body truly needs it.

If you’ve been chasing pain and getting nowhere, it’s time for a different approach.
