Increase Athletic Performance- Stretch!
Did you know that athletic performance can be severely hindered by an improper range of motion? Research has shown that lack of flexibility has a more negative impact on sports performance than any other single factor. To get the full potential of the strength and power from muscles, we must be able to use as much of the full length as possible! Don’t sell your athletic performance short! Stop wasting energy and learn to increase your joint flexibility!
Flexibility is an indicator of muscle, tendon, and ligament health. Lack of proper range of motion can lead to poor posture, poor muscle & joint performance, and a breakdown in the kinetic chain, leading to the cumulative injury cycle.

Feeling younger may just be a matter of increasing your mobility and flexibility!
Flexible joints, muscles, and movements are vital for pain-free and independent movement. Proper flexibility helps us complete everyday activities like getting out of a chair, gardening, or cleaning the house. If flexibility is neglected, joint range of motion will deteriorate, especially with age. Engaging in regular flexibility training can improve joint mobility, improve posture, decrease back pain, and lower the risk of injury.
