How to StretchPeople have been doing stretches for hundreds of years. In fact, since around 500AD which was when yoga was transformed from its purely meditative practice to one which also involved the body. This development was called “hatha” yoga. The transformation continued, and today most yoga is performed in order to enjoy a flexible, strong and healthy body. Pilates has taken the best of this history and together with further knowledge, has continued this process.You may read about scientific studies which suggest that doing stretches before exercise may not be as effective as others, say and can actually weaken muscles. However, I for one would prefer to go with the evidence of centuries. Stretching exercises would not have endured, if they didn’t provide benefits – which are many. So make stretches a regular and necessary part of your exercise regime.

We do so much activity requiring arms forward of the body (computer, driving, gardening etc). These activities shorten pectoral (chest) muscles and lengthen back muscles causing problems in the thoracic spine and causing problems in upper body posture and good alignment - as you can see in the pic on the left. 
Harvard Medical School have reported a study on how to treat tight painful neck muscles. In the past, it was "rest" that was recommended, but no longer. They now suggest an exercise regime to stretch and strengthen these muscles, rather than slapping on a neck brace.
Tips from a Pilates instructor, a bott camp trainer, a dietician, a surgeon and a fashion stylist. How's that for a lineup!!
