Why Stretching Isn't A Magical Remedy For Muscle Soreness Does stretching help sore muscles? There's more to the standard recovery practice than you might think — here's what to know.

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching or PNF plays a big role in our studio! All our stretch sessions incorporate PNF because of the way it helps make each stretch more effective, ultimately leaving our clients with amazing benefits 🤯

No matter if you're in little league or the big leagues ⚾, stretching should definitely be part of your recovery routine. That's why so many baseball players choose to be members at StretchLab and get stretched by a Flexologist!

“What is symmetry? Why do we care about your symmetry score on MAPS? Why does it matter for everyone?”

One of our Flexologists, Jasmine, has the answers for you:

Being asymmetric can lead to injuries due to muscles that are not activating correctly, whether that is too much or too little, typically it is a combination of the two. A lack of balance in muscles causes one muscle group to overwork while another underperforms. We can use the MAPS machine (Flexologist, Grace’s, scores pictured above) to identify which muscles need more flexibility and which muscles need more activation. We can also determine which side is being favored use that information to work on counteracting the pattern through stretching and exercises. We do this prior to the stretch so that when we go to the bench, we have a foundational idea of how to approach the stretch.

Hope this answers some of your questions concerning muscle symmetry! If you have any additional questions or would like to book a session with Jasmine, feel free to reach out!

"But do I really have to stretch 🤔"

The answer is yes! Stretching helps prep your body for any physical activity to help prevent injuries and reduce recovery time so you can keep up the great work 💪
