As we settle into the new year, many people are recommitting to movement starting an exercise routine, increasing activity, or simply trying to move more throughout the day. That’s a wonderful thing.
But here’s a question I often ask clients this time of year.
Have you included stretching or mobility work in your routine?
Stretching and mobility are essential companions to movement. Without them, especially with long hours of sitting or a sudden increase in activity, the body can respond with tight muscles, limited range of motion, joint stiffness, lingering soreness, and even increased risk of strain or injury.
The good news is stretching does not need to be complicated or time consuming. Just a few intentional minutes a day can make a noticeable difference in how your body feels, moves, and recovers both physically and mentally.
Tools, apps, and hands on massage can all support flexibility, circulation, and overall tissue health. Think of stretching and mobility as daily maintenance for your body, not an optional add on.
Your future body will thank you!
