In this episode of Running to the Castle, you’ll learn what to do if stretching hurts you and how to effectively manage pain and tightness without making things worse. 
We’ll discuss the REST’M framework—rest, equipment, stretching, temperature, massage—and why reducing stretching and incorporating temperature-based treatments, like ice or heat, can alleviate aches and swelling. 
You’ll also discover how massage and eccentric strengthening exercises address tightness by building stability in your muscles. 
Stay tuned for the next episode, where we’ll dive deeper into strength exercises for recovery!

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
