Improve your flexibility through stretching - advice from an #Shepperton Chiropractor
We all know we should warm-up before and cool-down after sport. Stretching excercises are an important part of these rituals but what type of stretch should we do and when?
Stretching exercises fall into 2 categories: Dynamic and Static
DYNAMIC – These are the warm-up stretches. They are used to allow relaxtion in the target muscles – as one muscle contracts, so its opposite muscle relaxes. They are not long hold stretches, but are 8-10 repetitions of only 1-2 seconds.
STATIC – The cool down stretches. Long hold stretches of 30-60 seconds and are to improve the structural length of the muscles, and if done regularly give a long term improvement.

I was in so much pain last week I couldn’t imagine that I would feel this much better in 7 days
Heather PenncockI first went to Mika About 2 months ago. I could not walk straight line or very far. I was also in pain as I have had two knee replacements. After about 3 weeks I can now walk upright and in a straight line. Also a lot of pain relief. I cannot recommend this practice enough.
Frank WhittingtonI have been working with Dr Mika Janhunen of Shepperton Chirorpactic Clinic for four years. During this time he has not only been able to help me overcome various niggling injuries and to enjoy better health, but has been able to improve the performance of a number of my golf coaching clients as well. His detailed knowledge of the human body and the complexity of the golf swing movement pattern is virtually unrivalled in terms of results that I have ever seen. I will continue to refer my players to see Mika, and would encourage anyone to do the same.
