Over the past few weeks I have discussed the importance of correct posture, at work, at home and when you are sleeping.
Unfortunately no matter how good your posture is you could still be susceptible to tight muscles, due to stresses and strains we face on a daily basis at work.
The solution.....regular stretching!
Stretching helps to warm up your muscles and keeps them relaxed, preventing them from becoming chronically tight!
Before you start!
1. If you are in pain please consult with your Chiropractor before you perform these stretches
2. Stretching should be pain free. If you experience any pain while stretching stop immediately.
3. Never try and push a stretch too far – you can easily damage a muscle
4. If your muscle shakes while performing a stretch reduce the stretch down
5. Start with holding a stretch for 10 seconds and build up to 30 seconds
