Yoga, stretching, mobility training, and flexibility exercises are making your muscle soreness and joint stiffness worse than you realize. The way stretching is commonly taught on social media overstretches muscle tissues and creates excessive ligament laxity.
Muscles, if overstretched, can be retonified with precise movement exercises-but ligaments? That’s a different story. Since they lack blood flow and are difficult to shorten once overstretched, you’re left with long-term instability. And that’s a problem fitness contrapreneurs and influencers keep dodging. Weak muscles and unstable joints are the inevitable result of their flawed approach, yet they have no real solution for it.
It’s not that stretching is inherently bad, but there’s a massive difference between passive flexibility and functional flexibility. In real life, you don’t need to flop into extreme ranges passively-you need flexibility that works with movement. This is where reciprocal inhibition comes in: proper muscle contractions drive functional lengthening elsewhere in the body, creating flexibility that actually works.
At the end of the day, physics matters. You can’t stretch your way out of moving poorly. People stretch hoping to create balance in their bodies, but in reality, it’s making them more imbalanced over time. True balance comes from training in alignment with the FP First 4: Standing, Running, Walking, and Throwing.
Don’t sacrifice your joints for fake flexibility. Move in accordance with the FP First 4, and not only will you increase your chances of getting and staying out of pain, but joint stability and functional flexibility will become automatic.
