Energy stretch
Energy stretch is a simple exercise program that helps
maintain and increase muscle flexibility and joint range
of motion. The movement or physical activity of everyday
living causes tension and imbalance in the human body
impeding proper blood flow necessary to the repair of
muscle tissue. Energy Stretch teaches active, passive
and PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)
stretches that will enhance the performance of movement
in general. Optimal flexibility is an important component
of fitness and Energy Stretch can be a beneficial compliment
to any health program.
