Most people stretch when they feel tight—but what if tightness isn't the real problem?

In this episode of The Health Commute, we break down why stretching often gives temporary relief but doesn't fix the root issue. Many muscles tighten to protect unstable joints, meaning the solution isn't always more stretching—it's better stability, strength, and movement.

If you've been stretching without lasting results, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do instead.
