The Benefits of Assisted Stretching and Chiropractic Care:
Stretching is one of the popular elements in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. When correctly guided, it can help minimize or slow down the disabling effects of chronic health conditions.
Stretching is a powerful tool that can enhance the benefits of your chiropractic adjustments.
Incorporating a guided stretching routine into your wellness regimen can help prepare your body for adjustments, promote flexibility, and prolong the positive effects of your chiropractic care. Increased muscle length from regular stretching helps in maintaining proper posture. Range of Motion: Improved range of motion in the joints, especially in the spine, hips, and shoulders, facilitates better posture. It enables the body to align correctly without undue strain on any muscle group.
The combined approach of chiropractic care, coupled with assisted stretching, creates a balance between the skeletal and muscular systems. Chiropractic adjustments can enhance the effectiveness of assisted stretching by ensuring that the spine is properly aligned. The joints move better through their full range of motion, allowing for more fluidity and movement of the body as a whole. The increased flexibility gained through assisted stretching will assist in the overall success of chiropractic adjustments by allowing for more range of motion, promoting longer-lasting relief and improved well-being.
Increases Flexibility - Increased flexibility with assisted stretching can improve your overall flexibility and in turn, your body's range of motion. Being flexible is a key aspect of your physical health. There are many benefits to improving flexibility, including improved posture, reduced joint pain/strain, injury risk, and stress, as well as augmented overall function. Assisted stretching can help you achieve those benefits by improving muscle length and loosening connective tissue in a safe, effective manner.
Assists with Stress Management - When we become stressed, we often carry it in our muscles. This increased tension within the muscle tissue can contract muscle length and produce pain. When stretching, the body releases the mood-boosting neurotransmitter, serotonin, which helps encourage your muscles to relax, and as a result, reduces stress levels. Assisted stretching activates the parasympathetic nervous system which will reduce the intensity of pain while also reducing acute inflammation. Assisted stretching also enables patients to unwind and let their stretch therapist do all the work!
Promotes and Enhances Athletic Performance and Mobility - By improving flexibility, range of motion, and muscle balance, it enhances agility and reduces the risk of injuries, helping athletes perform at their peak, allowing for more efficient movement patterns.
Improves Posture and Reduces Muscle Tension - Tight muscles can cause your body to move out of its intended alignment. Assisted stretching targets muscle tightness by releasing tension in the muscle through safe stretching maneuvers.
Facilitates Better Circulation - Consistent stretching, done the right way, can improve circulation. This in turn gets oxygen and nutrients to the soft tissues of the body reducing recovery and healing times.
Increases Range of Motion - If you’ve had surgery or an injury, you may be looking to regain the range of motion you had in the affected joint. You’ll notice your joints will become more fluid and assisted stretching can stimulate production of your body’s natural lubricants for easier movement.
Assists with Injury Prevention – By increasing your flexibility, you contribute to reducing the risk of injuries during physical activities. By targeting specific muscle groups, assisted stretching can address muscle imbalances and tightness that may lead to injuries. This will lead to the minimization of muscle stiffness that becomes increasingly vital for aging adults, as it helps enhance mobility, reduce discomfort, and support independent and active lifestyles.
Reduces Stiffness and Inflammation - When your muscles are tight from lack of movement, they can cause discomfort as they are shortened and contracted. This, in turn, limits your range of motion. When stretching your muscles, it returns them to their natural length and releases tension making you feel more relaxed.
Assist in Muscle Recovery (after a workout/cardio) – The direct correlation between stretching and enhanced sports performance is well-documented. Stretching can help individuals overcome physical limitations that may hinder their sports performance. Each sport and physical activity have unique demands on the body, requiring specific muscle groups to be strong, flexible, and resilient. By targeting muscle groups that are commonly engaged in a particular sport, individuals can prevent injuries, improve performance, and maximize their potential in their chosen activity.
Assisted stretching leads to improved muscle coordination, increased power output, and quicker recovery times after intense physical activities. Whether it's sprinting faster, jumping higher, or maintaining balance and stability, the benefits of stretching extend beyond flexibility to directly impact an individual's performance level in their sport.
The Importance of Stretching the Elderly - As we age our muscles and joints weaken and range of movement declines. This makes it challenging to maintain mobility. When Osteoarthritis affects the facet joints (between two vertebrae), the resulting pain can be felt in the lower back or neck regions. Although it may be painful and difficult to move these joints, regular stretching can benefit older adults as a way to improve muscle elasticity, and range of motion.
