Stretching is essential for maintaining a healthy back as it helps to increase flexibility, improve posture, and reduce the risk of injuries. Regular stretching lengthens tight muscles, especially in the lower back, hips, and hamstrings, which are often responsible for discomfort or tension. By promoting better mobility, stretching enhances blood flow to the muscles, which aids in recovery and relieves stiffness. For those with sedentary lifestyles or chronic back pain, incorporating stretching into daily routines can prevent muscle imbalances and support spinal alignment, fostering long-term back health and overall well-being.
