Stretch Every Day!
All children have trouble with muscle shortening, especially during rapid bone growth combined with activity during their day. Some children may have night cramps and leg aches caused by muscle fatigue and tightness, which is often incorrectly attributed to “growing pains”.
Children should be taught at a young age how to stretch properly. This will ensure that they develop good training habits and maintain healthy muscles for the rest of their lives. Our anatomy is the same at any age and it
is best to stretch all major muscle groups daily. As a family watching your favorite show sit on the floor and take the time, touch your toes, seal stretch, arm circles, butterfly and mountain stretch ... it doesn’t take long.
