In Singapore most people think of a yoga/ pilates as being under one roof of stretching classes, but it’s not. While in a pilates/ fitness, or yoga practice, you move the body in different posture, but it isn’t targeted towards giving you an improved flexibility through fascia or the kinetic chain.

Fitness Class

While that is true, funding a studio that offers clear instructions specific to just stretching your body out is slightly harder than expected, MSMC does a class which is called Stretch Mob(short for stretch mobility) which is one of their most sought after group classes in Singapore for stretching class.

It’s obvious that if you have a fitness regime, & it doesn’t matter if it’s yoga, gym exercises(strength training), barre, or pilates, you need the body to go through classes that stretches you out from all over the body. Also to take note that if you think the stretch class is not a workout, you’d be surprised how much of a workout it is just trying to move your body, especially if you’re a first timer to the class! The instructors in the studio challenges your body so that you have a good stretch which would all have a high carry over if you do any form of strength training in the gym.

How many days do you need to stretch to become flexible?

To improve your range of motion, there a few things that you need to consider.

Muscles: If you exercise regularly & hardly stretch, your posture may be affected & cause poor form in executing an exercise movement. This is due to the decreased elasticity of your muscles.

Tendons: Depending on the severity of the tightness in your muscles, If you want to have an effective workout & stay injury/ pain-free, your tendons need to be able to do its job, which is to help absorb impact. However, this is not possible when you are constantly loading the tissues with high impact exercises such as running or jumping, & that your muscles are not doing it’s job to help with further absorption of your exercise. It’s one of the main reason why one would have a tendon tear.

Ligaments: Think of your ligaments as the last wave of “breaking” before the dislocation of the joint. It is the last thing before you seriously get injured.

So if you’re a beginner & don’t know where to start, sessions like their Stretch Mob, Sticks, & Super Stretch are amazing to focus on opening up your posture, & allow for more freedom which takes you to having better exercise form during your workouts, staying injury free. Further more, attending their class means your time there isn’t in vain as all their instructors are trained in Sports Medicine in addition to whatever their background, rigorously.

For those who don’t like to be in small group classes, you can opt for their 1-1 stretch therapy(functional stretch therapy). The therapist assesses you & inform you of what may be causing the frequent body aches & pain. It’s good to know that they are the only ones in Singapore to exclusively offer this service which can compliment your workout for faster recovery or pain management.

 

Which stretching routine is best?

When asked what is the best frequency of stretching, one of the instructor quoted “akin to strength training, the more you do the faster the results due to consistency”-Jab. He carries on to explain in more details as to how even the simplest of yoga movement, pilates(mat), core workout or any workout that works your muscles(in or out of gym) can help if you do them with full motion, but cautions that doing repeated workouts just because in helped your fitness levels in the beginning does not equate to long term results from the workout. You may end up aggravating the joints & soft tissues surrounding the movement, which may cause chronic inflammation from wear & tear, & compensations.
