#68: What is stretching doing or not doing for your body? With Dr. Payton, PT, DPT
Dr. Payton and Dr. Shannon, two DPTs, discuss why they don't prioritize a ton of stretching. They educate about why we get tight and what may be more effective at improving tightness and mobility. They add that stretching may be a "band-aide" because tightness is a symptom of instability or another underlying issue. They also discuss their recommendations for dos and don'ts around stretching.
