Stretching Increases Vitality

Why is it that stretching improves our vitality?

Your Central Nervous System, the main information highway between your brain and your body, runs right through your spine. Opening that channel so that information can flow more freely between your brain and body enhances all of your abilities, making you function at a higher level.

Blood flow, nervous system flow, digestive system function, emotional tension…everything responds beneficially when you stretch out and release the ‘kinks’ in your body.
