flexibility exercises

Stretches for suppleness

Flexibility exercises are movements designed to stretch muscles and increase range of motion in joints.

They include static stretches held for extended periods, dynamic stretches involving controlled movement, and practices like yoga or Pilates: The physical therapist recommended flexibility exercises for my tight hamstrings.

Regular flexibility work can reduce injury risk and improve posture.
