Today's MOTD: Banana Bend

Why should you do this stretch:
This is a more dynamic version of a static lunge stretch that will REALLY open up that lateral componenet of our bodies. It will help to assist proper rib cage elevation (helping to improve breathing mechanics), shoulder flexion (helping with overhead activities) and stretching the hip flexors to create a more favorable pevis position.

Muscles Targeted:
With this stretch we will target our latissimus dorsi muscles, hip flexors (psoas muscles, iliacus etc), soleus (deep calf muscle that ties into our Achille's tendon) and intercostal muscles.

Who should do this:
This is a good stretch for both LUNG and BREAST cancer patients to incorporate into their COOL DOWN after a workout.

How much and how often:
Do this as part of your cool down routine AFTER a workout. Stretch each side for 30-45 seconds 1-2 times each side.

Special notes:
Rememberto breathe DEEP, FULL and SLOW. Deep and slow breathing into our stomach and chest will help to increase parasympathetic nervouse system activity. Cancer is stressful on the mind and body. Stress is a signal for our sympathetic nervouse system to kick on and while this is GREAT for preparing us for activity, it does not allow for recover. Breathing deep and slow will activate your parasympathetic nervous system and really help you to maximize your recovery as a cancer patient. ...
