Sigillo Chiropractic It's A Stretch One trait we'd all like to preserve for as long as possible is our flexibility, the ability to bend and move as required by the demands of daily life and those activities we enjoy. Regular chiropractic treatment is one way to achieve that goal But something you can do on your own to Dr. Christopher J. Sigillo, D.. reach that goal is to stretch regularly. On your next visit to your chiropractor, discuss your daily activities and your recreational preferences. He or she can prescribe a set of stretches that will help. Stretching helps with flexibility and reduces the risk of tears in muscles and tendons. It can also help with recovery after an activity. You don't have to be a tri-athlete to benefit from stretching. Before cleaning the house or the yard, shoveling snow -just to name a couple of relatively mundane chores most of us have to tackle - you should stretch a little. Additionally, increased flexibility of the neck, shoulder and upper back can improve respiratory function It is also not a bad idea to "cool down" after fairly rigorous activity with some light stretching. When muscles and tendons are warm they stretch a little more easily. Also talk with your chiropractor about the right and wrong ways to stretch Presented as a service to the community by Sigillo Chiropractic 18 Graves St., Brockport 637-3630.
