Wellness is on the rise. But why? Search interest for health and wellness has been increasing for years, and a study done by McKinsey found that 82% of people in the US consider wellness a top or important priority. Every day, more and more people are actively exploring the wellness space to help improve their physical and mental health. Luckily, adding wellness to your everyday life has never been easier. Today, resources such as assisted stretching programs are easily accessible and can seamlessly fit into one’s routine. Let’s explore how you can effortlessly start prioritizing your wellness, today!

Why a Wellness Routine is Important

Many healthcare professionals agree that having a routine can be beneficial for one’s health and wellness. Wellness routines can help aid in better sleep, reduce stress, improve mental and physical health, and even help set you up for long term success.

One type of wellness routine that stands out for its benefits is a preventative wellness routine. Preventative wellness is the practice of proactively caring for your physical and mental health. There has been an increase in people seeking preventative wellness solutions because it’s an effective way to ensure they’re not only feeling better today, but also living better tomorrow. 

Incorporating a preventative wellness routine into your day-to-day life can help:

• Decrease risk of diseases
• Detect illnesses early
• Decrease healthcare costs
• Improve quality of life

Standard preventive care measures such as screenings and annual checkups should continue to be part of anyone’s routine care, but how can you take it further?

Taking the lead on your own preventative wellness routine is a fantastic complement to your medical visits and can easily be incorporated into your daily routine today! Some examples of this include 30-minutes of daily movement, eating nutritious food, and keeping your body limber, stretched, and mobile are key places to start. Assisted stretching makes a number of those accessible and attainable.

How Assisted Stretching Can Make Wellness Easy

An effortless way to make everyday wellness easy is with an assisted stretching routine. Movement is medicine, and assisted stretching is a great way to maintain and improve mobility. Better mobility means being able to stay active and healthy, improve physical and mental health, and even decrease risk of injury.

One of the many appeals of assisted stretching is that it is primarily passive for the person getting stretched. The person conducting the stretch, which should be a reputable organization-certified or trained professional, moves the person’s limbs through the stretches and controls the movement to achieve deeper stretches. This allows for a more targeted stretch, potentially accessing muscles and areas that may be difficult to reach when stretching alone. This passive methodology also permits the individual getting stretched the ability to apply additional attention to their breathing, resulting in a better and more relaxing stretching experience. 

Assisted stretching is not only an easy way to incorporate preventative wellness into your routine, but is also an enjoyable method that can perfectly complement any preventive care measures!
