Stop Stretching Your Tight Muscles! Do This Instead
Do you constantly feel stiff, tight, or restricted no matter how much stretching you do? The truth is that tight muscles are not always the result of short muscles. In many cases, the feeling of tightness is the body's protective response to poor movement patterns, prolonged sitting, stress, injury history, or muscular imbalances. In this video, I explain: ✓ Why muscles can feel tight even when they aren't short ✓ How the nervous system influences tension ✓ Why stretching often provides only temporary relief ✓ Common posture and movement patterns that contribute to stiffness ✓ A simple 6-step movement sequence to help release tension and restore balance I'm Naomi Pendergast, a Movement Specialist and founder of RPX Fitness. I help people bridge the gap between injury, function, and performance so they can move with greater confidence and freedom through life.
