In an ideal world we’d all like to function better. Stretching helps keep muscles loose and maximises your joint range of motion, so that you can move more comfortably with ease.

Muscles are clever things. Their length adapts to suit the range they are most commonly used in. What this means is that, whatever sport you do, or whatever actions you repeatedly do in your work, your muscles will remember and your range of motion will change to reflect these demands.

Stretching is wonderful for encouraging a greater range of movement. It helps us to rid ourselves of unwanted tension, release cramps and tightness associated with our work, and maintain a more relaxed physical form.
