Dynamic stretches or static stretches 🤸‍♀️? The right type of stretching can greatly impact your athletic performance and risk of injury. Dynamic stretches are best done as a warm-up before vigorous exercise, and involves actively moving muscles in sports-specific motions for 10–12 reps to loosen muscles and boost performance. Static stretches are held for 30–60 seconds and should not be done prior to vigorous activity, as it may hurt performance and increase injury risk. Instead, add static stretches at the end of your cool down to release tension and support faster muscle recovery and long-term mobility. If you are looking to optimize your fitness routine and incorporate more stretching, one of our PTs will get you on the right track with a personalized fitness plan!
