Listen Later

Stretching is not the cure-all it's made out to be. In fact, if you're dealing with soreness, tension, or pain right now, stretching may not be your best bet. But what do you do instead? Is it mobility? Foam rolling? Icing?

On this episode, I cover

  • Why you don't really need to stretch
  • Why stretching isn't as helpful for getting rid of pain as you might think
  • And a simple shift to supercharge your stretching
