Stretching after exercise and when your muscles are sore is extremely important. When you work out, your muscles tighten up, and they maintain that tightness the next day when you are feeling sore. Stretching will help the muscle fibers to loosen up and relax, bringing almost instantaneous relief. Avoid stretching to the point of pain, and don't bounce during the stretch. It is better to hold the pose at the point where you feel a gentle stretch. Stretch each affected area slowly and gently to restore mobility, ease spasms and reduce pain.
