**“Should I stretch after my workout?”** We get this question all the time!
The answer is **YES — but keep it light.**
After a workout, gentle stretching for about **20 seconds per muscle group** can be a great way to cool down, reduce tension, and begin the recovery process.
But if your goal is to **actually improve your flexibility**, that’s different. Flexibility-focused stretching is best done separately, when your muscles are properly warmed up. Even something as simple as a hot shower can help warm the body before a deeper stretching session.
That’s where **professional assisted stretching** comes in. Stretching with a trained professional once or twice a week can help you work toward improving your flexibility and mobility over time.
At StretchMed, we make sure your muscles are properly warmed up before moving into a deeper, professional assisted stretch — helping you get more out of every session.
**Post-workout = light stretching.
Improving flexibility = warm up + deeper, focused stretching.**
