Why Stretching Isn’t Enough
This week on the podcast, we are talking about stretching, why alone it is not enough, and some common misconceptions about stretching. In this episode, we break down the difference between flexibility and mobility, and why mobility, strength through full range of motion, matters more than just reaching a stretch. We explore when stretching is helpful, when it might backfire, and how breathwork is the missing link to improving movement, reducing pain, and calming the nervous system. Whether you're feeling stuck in your mobility progress or wondering why stretching hasn’t helped, this episode offers the context, science, and tools you need to rethink your approach.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Benefits of Stretching
- Flexibility vs Mobility
- Dynamic vs Static Stretching
- When Should You Stretch?
- When Stretching Might Be Too Much
- The Relationship Between Tightness and Breath
- Incorporating Stretching and Mobility the Smart Way
