Why is stretching and muscle releasing is important during rehabilitation ?

Why is stretching and muscle releasing is important during rehabilitation ? Stretching and muscle releasing play a crucial role in rehabilitation by promoting flexibility, reducing pain, and enhancing recovery. After an injury or surgery, muscles often become tight or imbalanced, leading to stiffness and limited movement. Stretching helps to lengthen the muscles and improve range of motion, which can reduce strain on surrounding tissues and prevent further injury. It also encourages blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, speeding up the healing process.

Correct way to do squats Despite being one of the most fundamental and practical movement patterns that humans have ever encountered, the majority of are no longer able to perform the squat position.

Is Soreness After Exercise Good or Bad?

Is Soreness After Exercise Good or Bad? Soreness after exercise, often referred to as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is a common experience, especially after trying new workouts or increasing the intensity of your routine. While it can feel uncomfortable, mild soreness is generally a sign that your muscles are adapting and strengthening. During exercise, muscle fibers are stressed, and micro-tears occur. As they repair, muscles grow stronger and more resilient. However, excessive soreness or pain that lasts for more than a few days could indicate overtraining, improper form, or even injury. It’s essential to listen to your body and distinguish between normal post-workout discomfort and pain that might signal a problem. To manage soreness, incorporate proper warm-ups, cool-downs, and stretching into your routine. Staying hydrated, eating enough protein, and getting adequate rest can also speed up recovery. Remember, some soreness is normal, but persistent or sharp pain is a sign to seek professional advice.
