There is a saying: the tendon is one inch long, and the life is extended by ten years. Therefore, long-lived people usually have a pair of soft muscles and bones. Although there is no specific therapy for tendon contraction in traditional Chinese medicine, various methods of bracing and pulling have always existed in the practice of martial arts, qigong, and yoga exercises.

At present, there is no concept of tendon contraction in Western medicine, and many patients have been treated for a long time and do not know the cause, for example, some tendon contraction is regarded as lumbar disc herniation.

In the process of stretching, the general physician believes that when the patient feels the pain of the tendon being tightened, it should be stopped to avoid straining the tendons.

In fact, it is precisely because the tendons are constricted and not easy to pull apart, so the tighter it is, the more it must be pulled apart, otherwise it will shrink more and more tightly, and it will be much looser after being pulled through the pain point.

But it's not desperate to pull either! People who are not sick and want to avoid tendon contraction can stretch tendons every day. Stretching on a daily basis is one of the best health care methods.

"Stretching" can not only promote sleep, but also prevent cancer, anti-cancer, promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, rejuvenate people, prolong life, and generally improve the symptoms of various chronic diseases: such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, kidney disease, liver disease, frozen shoulder, insomnia, stubborn personality, irritability, poor qi and blood circulation, and slow metabolism.

If we don't want to grow old and die first, we must hurry up and do our homework on stretching. The older people practice stretching, the harder it will be, it will be unbearable, the success rate will be lower, and they will often give up halfway, so stretching fitness should be sooner rather than later.
