Benefits of Daily Stretching

Muscles that stay tight from long hours of sitting or repetitive movement can lead to stiffness and reduced flexibility over time. A few minutes of daily stretching keeps muscles supple and lowers the risk of injury.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Stretch gently after warming up the body, not when cold
  • Hold each stretch for about 20-30 seconds without bouncing
  • Breathe normally and relax into the stretch
  • Stretch both sides of the body evenly

Don'ts

  • Don't force a stretch to the point of pain
  • Don't skip stretching on rest days
  • Don't stretch an injured muscle without guidance
  • Don't rush through stretches without holding them properly

When to see a physiotherapist: If stiffness or tightness doesn't ease with regular stretching, or is accompanied by pain, swelling, or weakness, consult a physiotherapist for an evaluation.
