You’ve probably heard the term self-care being used a bit more these days. And that’s a good thing. Better self-care isn’t just some fad or social media trend—it’s something we can all hope to practice every day for better health and wellness. If you’re suffering from back and neck stiffness, daily stretching can and should be a big part of your self-care routine.

Better Self-Care with Daily Stretching

MORE FLEXIBILITY AND RANGE OF MOTION

Fitness and exercise are pretty common parts of a well-rounded self-care routine. But it can be hard to stay active or get motivated to work out when you have joint issues and problems with mobility. Daily stretching can go a long way toward restoring flexibility and improving your range of motion, allowing you to stay on task with your fitness goals. Pair daily stretching with the benefits of chiropractic care, and you’ll really be in business.

CONQUER BACK AND NECK STIFFNESS

It can be tough to make the best use of your time when you don’t feel your best. Back and neck stiffness can be major motivation killers, but you can put those aches and pains in their place with the help of daily stretching. Regularly stretching loosens up your muscles and keeps you limber, relieving tension and stress that can build up from sleeping uncomfortably or sitting at a desk for too long. If you stretch every day, you’ll feel more relaxed, more focused, and better prepared for whatever the day has in store.

QUICK AND EFFECTIVE

Building a better self-care routine doesn’t necessarily mean you have to take a ton of time out of your schedule. It’s more about making good use of the time you make for yourself, and stretching is as effective as it gets. Daily stretching can be done in just a few minutes and spread out multiple times over the day for maximum effectiveness. Plus, there’s a wide variety of stretches you can learn and perform, allowing you to manage everything from back and neck stiffness to soreness in your hips to delayed onset muscle soreness from working out.
