Stretching and Strengthening Exercises

Stretching and strengthening exercises are key components of physical fitness and injury prevention. Stretching involves gently elongating muscles and tendons to improve flexibility, reduce stiffness, and enhance movement efficiency. Strengthening exercises target muscles to increase their size, endurance, and power, supporting joint stability and overall strength. Together, these exercises promote a balanced body, reduce pain, and improve posture. They can be tailored to individual needs and are often used in rehabilitation, sports, or general fitness routines to optimize functional movement and prevent injuries.
