Stress Release at the Office!

Nov 14

Stretching allows you to release tension in overworked muscles while reducing the risk of overcompensation from stronger muscles. Once more, stretching helps to reset length-tension relationships between working muscles. This means that muscles will be at their correct length without tightness and you’ll notice the benefits of this in your day-to-day life.
