Stretching Techniques
Stretching techniques are physical exercises designed to improve flexibility and range of motion in muscles and joints. There are two main types: static stretching, where you hold a position for a period to lengthen the muscle, and dynamic stretching, which involves active movements to enhance flexibility and prepare the body for activity. Stretching helps reduce the risk of injury, improves circulation, and can alleviate muscle tension. It's often incorporated into warm-up and cool-down routines during physical activity, promoting overall physical health and well-being.
