Episode 241: The Myth of Stretching

Dr. Brianne Showman has been a licensed physical therapist since 2006. Since that time, she has been helping active adults and athletes get back to the activities they love. As ideas and theories in rehabilitation, functional movement, and nutrition are constantly changing, she is constantly searching for the new information in order to get you back to the activities you love as quickly (but safely) as possible. Being a CrossFitter and runner herself, she also understands the desire to want to push through the pain, not wanting to take time off, and wanting to get back to activity as soon as possible when required to take time off. She does her best to keep you active in the things you are able to do, modifying as necessary, but not taking you completely out of the gym, off the track/field, or off the road.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Dr. Brianne Showman about the myth of stretching.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:

- How box breathing is a controlled breathing pattern method used for relaxation and stress relief.

- Why addressing weaknesses in key muscle groups is essential to alleviate chronic tightness and prevent further issues.

- How improving hip stability and control during running is crucial for overall performance.

- Why grip strength is a significant factor in obstacle course racing and ninja warrior training.
