16 PHYSIOTHERAPY STRETCHES FOR DAILY FITNESS

Introduction  

There are many different stretches that are good for both men and women to use post-workout, as they are all static stretches. There are a variety of choices to use with your clients and should be chosen depending on which muscles their exercise routine targeted.     

Tips for the Workout  

  • The routines that you train should begin with dynamic stretches, and cease with static stretches as a way to help cool down the body.  
  • Ensure that your client continues to drink plenty of water throughout the rest of the day, as well as eating an adequate diet to nourish the tired muscles.
