Stretch for your Life, article written by Keoki

Moving easily and gracefully, whether we are getting out of a chair or just looking behind us is an ability that we seem to lose over time. The suppleness of youth is often left behind like so many other fond memories, and it doesn’t have to be that way. You can regain and preserve much of your youthful flexibility through simple daily stretching exercises!

No matter what our age, Easy Stretch, a program of gradual stretching will allow us to loosen up, move more freely, experience less pain and enjoy our life more fully. As Americans, we are often looking for someone else to heal us, or a magic pill to relieve pain and reduce stress, yet here is something we can do for ourselves. The benefits of stretching can be far reaching indeed, for stretching can help relieve the damaging effects of stress and inactivity. Often under stress our muscles tighten up unconsciously (particularly the neck and shoulders), retarding adequate circulation and causing pain and limited range of motion. Stretching on a regular basis can relax your body and mind, decreasing you discomfort. Moreover, it has been shown the immune system, our ability to fight off disease, functions better when we are under less stress.

With our modern lifestyles everyone needs to stretch! Working at desks, standing in lines, repetitive motion jobs, driving for long distances, even just sitting in front of the TV keeps us from using our full range of motion causes us to stiffen up and become uncomfortable. Before you know it, just about anything you do causes an ache or pain. Technically speaking, the muscle and fascia, a fibrous membrane that cover the muscle, are attached to bone with tendons. As we age and /or become less active the point of connection between muscle and bone becomes denser and less pliable. This phenomenon shortens the muscle, decreases range of motion and makes the muscle more prone to injury. Pain and stiffness are the result. Regular stretching is the cure.

We are often quietly proud of our ability to ignore our daily aches and pains, because we assume we can’t feel any better when we actually can. So often we “listen” to our body and forget that we are actually in control of it. Our body says that it is stiff and sore, but we don’t find ourselves saying back, “Well, old friend that is enough of that! I’m going to loosen you up!”

Easy Stretch Body/Mind Relaxation is a program designed to restore your lost flexibility and suppleness. It ends with a full body guided relaxation to relieve stress, promoting healing and a healthy cardiovascular system. In as little as 30-40min a day, you can be on your way to optimal health.

How 'Easy Stretch' video came to be. Article written by Keoki

Q. So how did Easy Stretch get started?

K. Well lets see, back in 1986 I was living in Honokaa, a sleepy little plantation town located on the east coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. I had been a practicing massage therapist for about 5 years, when I was approached by the county to teach massage at a senior center in Pauillo an even smaller plantation town 7 miles down the road. I thought this would be a opportunity to teach seniors to help each other through massage, little did I know all they wanted was to be touched and massaged by me. This was ok by me and the county didn’t seem to care.

Q. Seems like it all started with helping the seniors of Hawaii?

K. Yes, you know how things seem to just take on a life of their own. Well after getting my feet wet in Pauillo I moved on to Waimea, a thriving ranching town 15 miles west of Honokaa. One of my core beliefs is that I give back something to the community where I live and work. I approached the senior center in Waimea about doing massage there, on a volunteer basis. I would bring my table every Wednesday, 9-11am and do mostly Shiatsu massage. They loved it. Most had never received massage before and a lot of them were just in need of being touched in a loving way. I worked this way for about a year and in that period I noticed how tight their bodies were, how restricted their range of motion was and how much they needed more than just a 15min massage a week. They needed something they could do for themselves, daily. I had been doing yoga for 20 years and with this experience I developed a program of easy stretches for seniors and beginning stretchers.

Q. What made you decide to make a video?

K. For about four years I continued to do massage for 1 hour and the next hour was devoted to stretching followed by a guided relaxation. I really began to notice a change in their bodies, they moved much easier, had less aches and pains, and just seemed to have a better sense of well being than those who did not participate. I thought if this program can do this much good for just a few then I wanted to try to get it out to as many people as might need it. Believe me there are millions in this country in need of just such a program, I’m a firm believer in the old adage,”Use it or lose it”. So I put together the video version of Easy Stretch-Body/Mind Relaxation.

Q. Has it turned out to be everything you expected?

K. Yes and much more. I haven’t sold as many videos as I’d like, I’ve given away plenty and they make nice gifts. The nice part of having a video is the letters and e-mails I receive from grateful stretchers around the country, telling me how much of a difference Easy Stretch has made in their bodies and their lives. I continue to lead the Easy Stretch class in Waimea and have recently had another therapist wanting to do the same for the seniors on the north end of the island. Life is beautiful.
