Flexibility Important for a Pain Free Body

Your body is desgined to be pain free. Pain indicates that something in your body is not quite right and needs to be addressed. One of the most common causes of pain is inactivity. 

Inactivity or activity without proper stretching increases your risk of getting neck, shoulder, hip, back or knee pain. This is especially true as your body gets a little older.

Tight muscles can increase the "wear and tear" on joint cartilages leading to premature knee and hip replacements. Many people with increased back, hip and knee pain attribute it to their age or excess weight.

But in reality, age or weight are rarely the reasons. Rather, most joint pain can be traced to three main causes:

1. Tight and weak muscles as the result of a sedentary lifestyle
                                       (AKA too much sitting) 
2. A lack of joint lubrication (called synovial fluid) due to inadequate
                                         water intake
3. Poor flexibility caused by tight and shortened muscles
