Stretching is an important habit to send blood flow to muscles and help joints move through their full range of motion. We often receive suggestions from physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists that show us what stretches to do for a certain part of our musculoskeletal system.
However, when you do the "homework" suggested by these professionals do you feel which muscle(s) the stretching is associated to exactly? Or whether you are performing the stretch properly? Thanks to Vicky Timón, a yoga expert and author of “Encyclopedia of Pilates Exercises,” for the beautiful illustrations, today we are able to visualize the internal body structure that 34 popular stretches are responsible for.
Stretching is good when it is performed correctly and moving slowly. If you are not 100% sure, or need any assistance to stretch muscles, please feel free to book a massage appointment with us. Our therapists will take care of it.
