Why do animals instinctively stretch?
Flexibility Maintenance:
Animals instinctively stretch to maintain flexibility in their muscles and joints. Stretching helps prevent stiffness and ensures that their bodies remain agile and responsive to various movements essential for survival, such as hunting, escaping predators, or navigating their environments.
Enhanced Circulation:
Stretching promotes better blood circulation, and animals, much like humans, benefit from increased blood flow to their muscles. This improved circulation helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, facilitating efficient energy production and aiding in the removal of waste products.
Injury Prevention:
Regular stretching is a natural mechanism for animals to prevent injuries. By regularly elongating their muscles and tendons, animals can enhance their range of motion and reduce the risk of strains or tears during sudden movements or intense physical activities.
Instinctive Body Awareness:
Stretching is an instinctive way for animals to maintain body awareness. It allows them to check the range of motion in their limbs, assess muscle condition, and identify any potential discomfort or injury. This innate self-awareness contributes to their overall well-being and ability to navigate their environments effectively.
Preparation for Activity:
Animals often stretch before engaging in various activities, such as hunting, playing, or even during waking up from sleep. This pre-activity stretching primes their bodies for movement, increases muscle elasticity, and readies them for the physical demands of the tasks ahead. It’s a natural and essential part of their routine to ensure optimal performance in their daily activities.

Chiro Guys Chiropractic Stretch Therapy FAQ:
How is assisted stretching different from yoga and floor stretching?
Relaxation is a key element in maximizing flexibility quickly, safely, and effectively. Professional athletes have a trainer stretch them so they can completely relax. When a person is stretching on their own, without assistance; their body tends to fight itself due to muscles flexing in order to position themselves thereby impeding the efficacy. Assisted stretching is far and above any other form of flexibility training.
Why is relaxation and breathing so important in increasing flexibility?
Deep breathing supports relaxation and relaxation is critical to maximizing a person’s flexibility and range of motion. Box breathing is a fantastic breath work system to utilize during a stretching session.
Is it important to measure progress in stretching?
“That which cannot be measured cannot be definitively improved” – Lord Kelvin
Feel isn’t real, therefore, it’s critically important to be able to quantify progress, if a person desires steady improvement in anything, especially stretching and increasing flexibility and range of motion.
Why is proper technique so important when stretching?
The three critical factors that must be in a stretching program to maximize flexibility are (1) Relaxation (2) Measure Progress (3) Proper form / technique. A person’s posture and spine angle must remain correct throughout the entire stretch. If technique is lost, isolation of the desired / targeted area is lost as well.
How often should I stretch and for what duration?
Two to three days per week is a good program, but daily stretching is by far the best. In order to get a great total-body stretch; thirty minutes is optimal if performed properly. Each stretch is held for at least 30 seconds in an effective static stretching routine.
