❗️WHY WE STRETCH?
Stretching promotes -
* mobility
* flexibility
* Stretching keeps the muscles healthy and strong.

A regular stretching regime incorporated
into your every day -
* Aids with injury prevention
* corrects posture,
* improves daily functions
* prevents injuries.

Pre-activity warm up and stretches helps to reduce the muscular strains and tears form sudden over-lengthening,
muscular spasms, relieve stiffness and enhance circulation (Mattes, 1996).

_Active isolating stretches_
Refers to a technique that promotes the
effectiveness of stretching without causing a lot of discomfort that make us want to avoid stretches!
Active isolating stretches involves 4 basic
principles:
1. Isolating the muscles that is being stretched.
2. Repeating the action 8 to 10 times
3. Holding the stretch for no longer than 2
seconds
4. Exhaling on the stretch and inhale on the release of the stretch

?How does isolating a muscle help a muscle stretch?
By actively contracting the opposite muscle, the targeted muscle relaxes and provides the perfect environment to stretch. By repeating the action, it
helps to increase circulation in the blood, more oxygen and nutrients to the muscle being stretched.

‼️Let’s Recap: ‼️

What is Biokinetics and how can it help you?

Biokinetics is a recognized health care profession that uses exercise and movement to rehabilitate, promote wellness and improve the health of our patients. Biokinetics deals with the final phase of rehabilitation or wellness, the phase that usually takes place after you’ve seen your doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractor, or dietician who focuses more acutely on solving your ailment.

Biokineticists are qualified and specialized exercise therapists with a background in anatomy and physiology, giving us a deeper understanding of how the body works and moves.

Biokinetics also includes chronic disease management, exercise prescription and guidelines for chronic illnesses, as well as the improvement and promotion of your general wellness, such as healthy lifestyle changes, exercise routines, and stress management.

Our treatment will include some or all of the following: improving your biomechanics, correcting movement patterns, bettering your flexibility, strengthening weaknesses and improving your posture. We also take the time to educate each person so that they have a better understanding of your body and movement. Each patient is given an individualized program that focuses on their needs and goals.
