Over the years of treating people, I (James) came upon enough of them who were not experiencing something taken for granted by many that I began asking new clients during their initial assessment as to whether they were experiencing “this”. What is “this”? Stretching; the type that is to occur naturally upon waking from a long sleep, without conscious thought and the same behaviour we see in cats and dogs after awakening.
The following link presents an interesting talk, less than 5 minutes, by an anatomist as to why stretching and movement in general is so important in preventing more significant issues that can interfere with out ability to move and enjoy life. Thank you, Carol, for bringing this to my attention!!
