Flexibility and mobility: are stretching and yoga actually doing anything?

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Emma and David untangle the difference between flexibility and mobility—and why most people's stretching routines aren't doing what they think—by breaking down what the research actually shows about static stretching, injury prevention, and why this distinction becomes urgent as we age. You'll learn why five to ten minutes of active mobility work three times a week outperforms years of passive stretching, and how to tell the difference between a practice that feels good and one that's actually building capacity.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
