It’s EXAMS TIME! 😮‍💨😮‍💨Are your kids feeling the pressure of the upcoming internal and external exams? It's not just mental stress that takes a toll – physical tension can also be a problem. When studying for long hours, poor posture can cause neck pain and stiff shoulders, leading to headaches and decreased productivity.

But there's a simple solution that can make a big difference: stretching! Just 30 minutes of guided stretching and breathing can help relieve tension and safely get them exam ready. At Stretch Studio, our experienced instructors will guide your child through a series of stretches coupled with breathing exercises that are tailored to their individual needs. This personalized approach can help address any areas of tension or discomfort, and leave them feeling refreshed and energized.

In addition to the physical benefits, guided stretching and breathing can also have a positive impact on mental wellbeing. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, and promote a sense of calm and relaxation. Don't let exam stress take a toll on your child's physical and mental health.

Come to Stretch Studio for a calmer, more productive mind and body!

Correlation between Dehydration and Tightness.
There is a correlation between hydration and muscle tightness. When the body is dehydrated, it can lead to muscle tightness or stiffness. This is because the lack of fluid in the body can make it harder for joints and muscles to move freely, leading to stiffness and tightness.
Additionally, dehydration can also cause a decrease in blood volume, which can reduce the amount of oxygen and nutrients that reach the muscles, leading to fatigue and soreness. These factors can all contribute to increased muscle tightness.
On the other hand, staying hydrated helps to maintain proper fluid balance in the body, which can improve joint and muscle function and reduce stiffness and tightness. Drinking enough water also helps to reduce muscle soreness, improve flexibility, and support overall muscle health.
In conclusion, hydration plays a significant role in muscle tightness, and maintaining proper hydration levels can help to prevent and reduce muscle tightness.

From Our family to yours: Ramadan Kareem 🌙.

Women. Thank you. Here’s to celebrating all the women in our team, our lives and the world.

Why is it important to drink water after your stretches?
1. Joint lubrication: Water helps to lubricate joints and muscles, allowing for smoother and easier movements, which can improve flexibility.
2. Muscle recovery: Staying hydrated helps to replenish fluids lost through sweating and improve circulation, which can support muscle recovery and reduce muscle soreness, allowing for better flexibility.
3. Reduction of muscle tightness: Dehydration can lead to muscle tightness and stiffness, while staying hydrated helps to reduce tightness and improve overall muscle function, including flexibility.
4. Improved blood flow: Proper hydration levels can improve blood flow, which can deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and support their health, leading to better flexibility.
5. Toxins drainage: Water helps to improve intra tissue fluids flow and drainage, which can aid in the removal of waste products from the muscles and speed up the recovery process.
6. Refreshing feeling maintaining energy levels: Dehydration can lead to fatigue and decreased energy levels, so drinking water after stretching can help maintain and restore energy levels.

Another year concludes on a high note. We are delighted to have accomplished some incredible success stories. Our gratitude to all our clients who trusted us !
Cheers to more success stories ahead!
Wishing you all a very happy, peaceful and successful 2023! Love from Team Stretch

Stretching for Physical Tissue Stress
When the body is stressed, muscles tense up. Muscle tension is almost a reflex reaction to stress the body’s way of protecting you against injury and pain. With sudden onset stress, the muscles tense up all at once, and then release their tension when the stress passes. Long term stress causes the muscles in the body to be in a constant state of overprotectiveness.
 
And when muscles are tight and tense for long periods of time, this trigger other reactions of the body creating stress-related disorders. For example, both tension headaches and migraine headache are associated with long term muscle tension in the area of the shoulders, neck and head. Lower back pain and upper body pain has also been linked to stress, especially job stress.
 
Muscle tension, which later leads to losing the size of muscles due to overprotecting the body, promote chronic, stress-related musculoskeletal conditions. Our stretching techniques offers stress-relieving aftereffects to effectively reduce specific muscle tension, decrease the incidence of certain stress-related disorders, such as headache, and increase a sense of well-being. For those who develop chronic pain conditions, stress-relieving activities such as stretching helps hugely by improving mood and daily function.

How stretching helps condition the muscles:
 
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.
 
For instance, being seated all day results in tight hamstrings in the back of the thigh. That makes it harder to extend your leg or straighten your knee all the way, which makes walking a problem. Likewise, when tight muscles are suddenly called on for a strenuous activity that stretches them, such as playing tennis, they may become damaged from suddenly being moved. Injured muscles may not be strong enough to support the joints, which can lead to joint injury.
 
Therefore regular, stretching improves muscles’ length, keeps them lean, and increase flexibility, that will prevent too much force on the muscles when moving. Healthy muscles also help a person with balance problems to avoid falls as we move in our day to day activities.

The time has come for us to bid adieu to who has been with us since we opened the doors of Stretch Studio 3 years ago. We wish Liezel a safe journey, a blessed and happy start in her new chapter of her life. As she says farewell to us she says hello a new beginning in Australia. We will miss seeing you in the studio. Love always from a very emotional Team Stretch

HOW DOES PROPER STRETCHING IMPROVE POSTURE?
Improving poor posture can be achieved by use of effective stretches that correct muscle imbalances and align joint movement.

Bad posture or bad daily movements result to the body having weak, unused muscles that tighten. This shortening of muscle length can compact the bones of the spine and worsen posture.

This leads to common painful conditions associated with poor posture such as low back pain, neck, shoulder, arm pain, foot and knee problems.

Stretch Studios Flexologists specifically aim at stretching muscles that are tightened from those bad movement habits such as muscles that stabilize the upper back, middle back and lower back.

Introduce regular stretching to boost muscle flexibility, improve muscle strength and tone, improving joint mobility and energizing these inactive lazy muscles resulting from bad movement patterns.

Question: is stretching something that should be done continuously even if you are flexible?

Absolutely yes! Just like the way we maintain our levels of strength, cardio and muscle tone; flexibility is also a continuous health state that once achieved it needs maintaining and improving.

This is by stretching consistently to avoid losing your current level of flexibility and to further refine your flexibility into mobility.

Remember stretching is not always about how bendy we are but also a good way to refine and refresh mind-body awareness. This is always good for everyone from the inflexible, to the flexible, to the very flexible people or people with hyper-mobility, allowing you better control over joints/muscles. Book yourself in for us to help you and guide you through your flexibility journey!
