THE SCIENCE OF FLEXIBILITY
Why Traditional Stretching Often Feels Ineffective
Most people assume flexibility improves by holding stretches longer or pushing deeper.But flexibility is influenced by how your nervous system responds — not just how far you stretch.When the body senses strain, it often resists by tightening up. That’s why long, passive stretching can feel uncomfortable and produce slow or inconsistent progress.Some approaches focus instead on short, targeted movements designed to work with the body’s natural reflexes rather than against them.
