stretching and flexibility exercises

Which Areas Should Nurses Focus On?

Given the nature of nursing activities, certain muscle groups are more prone to strain and should be the focus of stretching exercises:
- Neck and Shoulders: To relieve tension from long hours of looking down or performing repetitive tasks.
- Lower Back: To counteract the strain from lifting and transferring patients.
- Legs and Feet: To alleviate stiffness from prolonged standing or walking.
- Wrists and Hands: To reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries from tasks such as typing or administering medication.
