In this episode with Dr Adam Loaciano, we discuss a recent research review he did on the science behind foam rolling versus stretching for acute flexibility gains. We dive into the realm of resistance training as a tool for increasing range of motion and uncover the role of neuromodulation in the flexibility equation. Finally, we explore the mechanics of PNF stretching and how it can contribute to overall mobility. Join us as we dissect each approach and provide practical insights to optimize your flexibility and mobility journey.
