 Watch my 3 detailed videos with essential stretches to increase flexibility and release tight calves, hips and back pain. These informative clips are from my television segment on KCEQ channel 3 “Eye on the Desert”.

 Flexibility, hip mobility and properly stretching the calf is a essential to perform with full range of motion, stop pain, and injuries in there tracks.  The right flexibility and stretching program is the key missing element to millions needlessly suffering out there.

 
 My flexibility training  system is used by beginners established performers, ballerinas, World Class Athletes & Olympians to immediately increase mobility, help clear severe pain, injuries and release stored trauma in the mind and body.

I start by stretching the feet which are our tires. Like tires they need alignment and balancing to perform at optimum levels. The foot hip connection of tightness runs all the way up into the hip and back. Which can lead to Achilles, knee, hip, and back pain.

1. Flexibility Begins at the Feet & Calf

 The calf muscle is also known as the second heart. Because the calf muscle assists the heart in circulating blood throughout your body it’s really important to keep them strong and healthy. Stretching can not only help you avoid certain overuse injuries and help clear plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.  It also helps improve :
*Blood circulation in your legs. This can go a long way if you have diabetes!
*Posture  
*Balance 
*Foot pain due to conditions like arthritis

Stretching strap: Stacey Stretch Strap I custom designed with the perfect level of tension, stretchy strong material yet soft on the skin with continuous loops to choose from according to level and needs.

Posture Strap: If you have poor posture this will get reinforced when you stretch or workout. A hunched over posture affects breathing and mental health. To get flexible fast breathing deeply is necessary to allow the mind and body to let go. I custom designed Stacey Posture Strap to immediately correct posture and take pressure off the neck, back and shoulders.

Yoga Blocks: If you’re unable to reach the floor in certain poses a block can be a useful way to create length and bring the ground closer to you. Doing so will enable you to experience the full benefit of the pose, without straining your body or compromising your alignment.

Yoga blocks have many uses and benefits,  including offering support for all levels,  releasing tension, preventing strain or injury, and increasing strength and flexibility.

Calf/ Achilles Stretcher: The Bob Calf Master will increase speed, strength, ankle mobility, and vertical jump. It strengthens and stretches muscles, tendons, ligaments, helps treat plantar fasciitis, and is the ultimate lower leg solution.
