CAN YOU STRETCH TOO MUCH?

Is it possible to overdo it while stretching? Can you stretch too much? Are there any dangers of overstretching, and are you hurting yourself? How long should you stretch to gain flexibility and remodel tissue to make structural changes, or is stretching merely a sensory adaptation and increased pain tolerance? Let's talk about the science of stretching and review research on flexibility, hypermobility, instability, injury risk, and stretching. We talk about static passive stretching, the relationship between stretching and athletic performance, and when and if you really need to stretch at all. Especially for people with hypermobility, stretching may be totally unnecessary and unhelpful. We don't need as much mobility as we tend to think, and there may be better alternatives to stretching and flexibility work. This message is especially important for yoga students and yoga teachers to hear, as it is usually missed in yoga teacher trainings. . . ✅ Watch the MASTERCLASS on Low Back Pain & Sciatica. https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/... . .
