The Value of Stretching and Strengthening Your Body
Stretching and strengthening exercises promise some special benefits of their own. Stretches can release pent-up muscle tension and limber up the tissues to ease muscle spasms, making the everyday motion more comfortable, and reduce your injury risk. Strengthening also reduces injury risk by granting extra stability to the key muscle groups that maintain your posture, symmetry, and balance.
Stretching Exercises to Keep Your Tissues Flexible
- Forward, backward, and side neck tilts to loosen neck muscles
- Downward neck release exercises to free up the back of the neck
- Shoulder rolls to relax the tissues connecting your shoulders to your neck
- Cobra stretches, cat-cow stretches, spinal bridges, and seated spinal twists to improve mid-back flexibility
- Stretches that target the pelvic girdle, knees, wrists, tailbone, or lower back
Strengthening Exercises to Support Your Musculoskeletal System
- Chin tucks, which strengthen the muscles that support your head
- The prone cobra, an exercise that targets the shoulders, neck, and upper back
- A standing exercise called the back burner that works both the back and the chest
