Joints 360™

Have you ever had to sit in one position for an extended period of time, say cramped in a tiny airplane seat or even at your desk for too long, and you get up to find that your body doesn’t want to move? You feel aches, maybe hear a pop, and it takes a couple steps before your body finds it’s rhythm. That’s because when your muscles are inactive they become short and tight. The longer you are immobile, the worse it gets.When you do try to use your muscles again, they are weak and don’t properly extend, so you feel stiff and increase your risk of injury. Muscle damage, strains, even just joint pain are common among people who don’t take the time to stretch. The reason is because your muscles support joint mobility. When one is too tight, it can leave you susceptible to a host of problems, including pulling your joints out of alignment and restricting movement.
