Proper spinal movement is aligned with flexibility and strength.

Proper spinal movement is aligned with flexibility and strength. Having adequate flexibility of tissues around the spine and pelvis allows full normal spinal movement, prevents abnormal force on the joints, and decreases the possibility of injury.

Stretching exercises can be done throughout the day to counter the effects of excess sitting or prolonged activities. They are also ideal following a workout, when increased circulation to muscles and joints leads to greater flexibility and helps to prevent soreness.
