Why Flexibility Matters

Flexibility isn't just about being able to touch your toes—it's a crucial component of overall fitness and health. It can improve your performance in physical activities, decrease your risk of injuries, reduce muscle soreness, and even promote better posture. Plus, it feels amazing to move in a body that’s free and unrestricted!

Tips & Tricks for Superior Flexibility

Embarking on your flexibility journey can seem daunting at first, but with a few pointers from our experienced RMIT physios, you'll be on your way to a more supple you in no time.

Start Slow and Be Consistent

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is flexibility. Take your time with each stretch and avoid rushing the process. The key to seeing progress is consistency—make stretching a regular part of your routine, and you’ll likely see improvements.

Incorporate Dynamic Stretching

Before you dive into your workout or sports activity, warm up your muscles with dynamic stretching. This involves active movements that mimic the motion of the activity you're about to engage in, helping to prepare your muscles and increase your range of motion.

Don't Forget to Breathe

Breathing is often overlooked in flexibility training. Sync your breath with your movements—inhale to prepare, and exhale as you ease deeper into the stretch. This will help relax your muscles and allow for a deeper stretch.

Use Props

Don't be afraid to use props like yoga straps, blocks, or even a towel to help you reach further and maintain proper alignment. They are great tools that can help you safely advance in your flexibility practice.

Let’s Stretch It Out!

Now that you've got some insight into the wonders of flexibility, why wait? Here are some easy stretches you can start with:

1. Hamstring Stretch: Sit on the ground, extend one leg out, and tuck the other in so your foot is near your thigh. Lean forward towards your foot, keeping your back straight.

2. Chest Opener: Stand tall and clasp your hands together behind your back. Gently lift your hands upward and open your chest while keeping your back straight.

3. Hip Flexor Stretch: Step one foot forward into a lunge position and drop your back knee to the ground. Push your hips forward gently, and you'll feel a stretch in the front of your hip.
