Stretching Anatomy Arnold G. Nelson

Good flexibility is known to bring positive benefits in the muscles and joints. It aids with 

injury prevention, helps to minimize muscle soreness, and improves efficiency in all 

physical activities. 

Increasing flexibility can also improve quality of life and functional independence. Good flexibility aids in the elasticity of the muscles and provides a wider range of 

motion in the joints. It provides ease in body movements and everyday activities. A simple 

daily task such as bending over and tying shoes is accomplished better with flexibility.
