So I was asked a really good question at the office actually a couple of times this week, and the question is, when is the best time to stretch?
Now, the best time to stretch for the short answer is after your workout. Yes, it's good to get a good warm up at the beginning of your workout, but you don't have to go full on stretching then. The best time to do stretching is after your workout. So whether it's a sport or gardening, which is something I do a lot during the summer, it's best to stretch afterwards.
Now, dependent on what you do, obviously the stretch is going to be different. So make sure to ask one of our docs here at the office which stretches are going to be best for you, dependent on what you do during the summer.
Contact our office if you have any questions.
