As a population, Americans are riddled with
chronic pain and injury. This is caused by immobility and poor posture, because of the lack of flexibility.
Why are we immobile?
As Americans we are in a sitting culture. We
sit when we eat, when we work, when we watch television, when we drive, we sit all the time.
On top of that regular exercise is extremely scarce; inactivity is the leading cause of health problems in our society.
Stretching and the maintenance of
mobility are overlooked.
The general population is uneducated about
health and wellness. There is a lack of knowledge about exercise and stretching, and the benefits that come from both.
Becoming mobile
MOVE!!!!
Engaging in daily physical activity and a
regular exercise program.
Being aware of postural imbalances, meaning, correcting improper
posture, while sitting, standing, and sleeping or any part of daily life.
Stretching to improve functionality in our
daily lives.
