Summary
If you're hypermobile, you've almost certainly been told the same thing: don't stretch. You're already flexible — why would you stretch? It sounds logical, and it comes from people who mean well. But it's advice built on a misunderstanding of what stretching actually is, and following it means missing out on something hypermobile bodies genuinely need. In this episode I'm getting into the nuance nobody seems to be talking about and why the blanket "don't stretch" advice misses the point when you actually understand flexibility training, and what stretching done well is really building. 1:1 Consult: https://jenhosler.com/monthly-coaching/ Movement School Waitlist: https://jenhosler.com/movement-school/
