Do YOu need to Stretch or to strengthen?

Our body feeling "tight" and getting older sometimes go hand in hand.

You might feel like stretching things out is your best bet...but if you have relative weakness in an area...stretching isn't going to help very much.

Oftentimes...a "tightness" problem is a strength problem and not a flexibility problem. Stretching out a weak muscle still leaves you with a weak muscle vulnerable to tightness, strains, pulls, etc.

Wonder if you have a strength issue in a particular part of your body?

Ask yourself...

Q: Do I spend a lot of time in the same position? Maybe driving or a desk job the culprit?

Q: Are the muscles that feel tight involved in that position? I.E. Someone who has a tight lower back or hips that sits at a desk or drives a lot.

If you connected the dots on those two questions...chances are you need to build more strength rather than stretching out a lot.

Use the correct plan for the right problem and if you need help figuring it all out...we'd love to hear from you. 979-575-7871.
