Why Stretching Isn't Fixing Your Tight Muscles (And What Actually Will) | E41

Feeling tight no matter how much you stretch? In this episode, Dr. Greg breaks down the real reasons muscles feel tight—and why stretching alone often isn't the answer. He explains the difference between muscles that are protectively guarding an injury versus those that have structurally shortened over time, and why "tight is weak, weak is tight" is the key to understanding chronic pain.Dr. Greg also covers real-world examples like the hip flexor-glute relationship, the domino effect of poor posture on neck and shoulder tightness, and what parents should know about growth-related tightness in young athletes (including Osgood-Schlatter's and Sever's disease).If you've been stretching and stretching with no relief, this episode explains why—and what to do instead.📍 Movement Driven Performance Physiotherapy | Jacksonville & St. Johns, FL📞 Call us at 904-257-5765🌐 Visit movementdriven.com to book a discovery call or schedule an evaluation with Dr. Greg
