Try stretching with this for your regular care routine!
In our previous post, we introduced the muscle roller. This time, we will introduce self-care using a stretch pole. By lying on your back with the pole above you, you can relax your entire body while slowly stretching your chest and back, which are prone to shrinking on a regular basis.
Exercises using a stretch bar have been reported to improve mobility of the thoracic spine and shoulder joints, posture, and body alignment. Additionally, by moving the body while breathing slowly, it can also be used for post-workout cooling down and daily conditioning.
What we are introducing today is:
① Basic posture (lying down and relaxing)
② Raising and lowering the arm
③ Exercise to open the chest
4. Core and balance exercises
There are four of them.
First, take a moment to breathe slowly on the pole and feel your body sink into the floor. Then, use your arms and legs to move them slowly, allowing you to move your shoulders, chest, back, and hips without effort. The stretching pole is a little larger than a foam roller to carry around, but it’s a very useful item for your regular at-home body care routine.
