Flexibility truths

Stretching has a role—it's not the whole story or a cure for arthritis ads imply.

Myths vs grounded

Myth	Grounded
Stretch prevents all injury	Movement + strength + sleep help bundle
Bouncing deeper is better	Hold 20–30 sec, no bounce
Never squat deep	Depth is individual; pain guides

Warm tissues stretch easier—after walk or shower. Neck, chest, calves, hips—20–30 sec, both sides.

Flexible without strong = unstable for some tasks. Do both across the week.
