Holiday Self-Care & Stress Relief
November 25, 2024
There are many good reasons to want to improve your flexibility in 2024. It can help you progress in your fitness goals, reduce your risk of injury, improve your mobility in the long run, and so much more. And for all those good reasons to improve your flexibility, there are just as many great tools to go about doing it—including stretches, custom orthotics, and chiropractic care.
If you’re not already stretching every day, it’s a good goal to pursue in 2024. This is especially true if you want to improve flexibility—stretches and yoga poses like the cat-cow, puppy pose, and butterfly are all great ways to boost mobility. Setting aside 15-20 minutes a day for stretching and yoga also helps you manage stress, and it’s a great way to ensure you’re engaging in daily self-care. And it’s even better with soft music and aromatherapy with Young Living Essential Oils.
When you have poor posture, your mobility suffers in both the short and long term. You can take several steps to build better posture—including making your workspace more ergonomic—but one of our favorites involves the literal steps you take. Orthotic shoes and inserts from Foot Levels provide customized support for your feet, and that helps support better posture overall. It can also minimize joint issues that may also impact your flexibility.
Chiropractic care is one of the best ways to improve mobility because it focuses on spinal and joint health. By putting your spine into proper alignment and manipulating the joints, your chiropractor can help you be more flexible more often. Regular adjustments reduce pain, relieve injuries, and move you to the state of maintaining wellness. This allows you to stay flexible longer and have more mobility and range of motion as you age.
