Stretching Does a Body Good!

Muscle is contractile tissue. This means it is capable of shortening or contracting. This is what allows our body to move itself without any outside influence. Unfortunately, when we injure ourselves, our body’s muscles go into spasm to prevent movement of the injured part(s) and the muscles must be forced to lengthen. This must be done by stretching, massage and/or chiropractic adjustments. Ideally, all three methods will be used concurrently to minimize the amount of time/treatment needed.
