Physical therapists at Enchantment PT agree that flexibility is a vital aspect of maintaining a fit and capable body. It is considered the third pillar of body fitness. However, people often pay less attention to flexibility during exercise and rarely consult with physical therapists on the subject.
What is Flexibility?
Flexibility involves stretching the muscles to allow tendons and muscle fibers to lengthen. The longer the fibers can extend while maintaining muscle strength, the more flexible one can become. Since stretching involves some discomfort and physical movement, it’s best to seek guidance from a physical therapist at Enchantment PT in Rio Rancho and Gallup.
Flexibility enables the body to achieve extra mobility that it may not have had before. Physical therapists at Enchantment PT are skilled at guiding individuals through exercises that promote muscle relaxation, stretching, and joint mobility to help achieve flexibility.
