Episode 64: Why Stretching Doesn't Always Work


Listen Later

There's nothing more frustrating to a dancer than stretching all the time and feeling like you're not making progress towards your flexibility goals. In this episode, I break down why that might be happening. You'll learn the difference between flexibility and mobility, and why 2 key components of mobility - connective tissue and the nervous system - might actually be the thing impeding your flexibility progress.

Podcast episodes mentioned in this episode:
Episode 13: Flexibility for Dancers. Part 3 - The Nervous System's Role in Mobility
Episode 12: Flexibility for Dancers. Part 2 - The Truth About Overstretching
