Why Is Stretching Good For You?

Is it important to stretch your body frequently?

Stretching is a conditioning exercise shown to improve the tone and health of muscles; limbers up tendons, ligaments, and joints; and changes the dynamics of the nervous system.

Muscles contain stretch receptors, which are special groups of cells that inform the central nervous system about their state of tension.  

This might be why stretching your muscles can change your level of arousal and mood.
