Stretching In-Home Physical Therapy in Cave Creek, AZ

Many people don’t understand that stretching needs to happen on a regular basis. Stretching keeps your muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without flexibility from stretching, muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. This puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.

Stretching one time on your own or during a single session of in-home physical therapy in Cave Creek, AZ won't magically give you perfect flexibility. You'll need to do it over time and remain committed to the process. It may have taken you a lifetime to get tight muscles, so you're not going to be perfectly flexible after one or two sessions. It takes weeks to months to get flexible, and then, you will benefit from a maintenance program to continue your progress.
