A member asked:

How important is it to stretch every day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very important!: Stretching is extremely important as it helps keep one flexible, and flexibility is one of the best ways to avoid musculoskeletal injuries. In fact, the presidential council on fitness had recently add flexibility as one of the key components to physical health. Stretching should be performed regularly.
