Discover how the practice of stretching can increase your flexibility, strengthen your body, and renew your youth with Stretching to Stay Young. As we age, our bodies move less and less.

Stretching is a gentle, simple activity that anyone can do. Doctors often “prescribe” stretching to patients to alleviate ongoing aches and pains, as well as improve range of motion and flexibility. Those who enjoy an active lifestyle find that regular stretching improves athletic performance and decreases the risk of injury.
