Featured Expert Insight: Dr. Gregory Rubin

In a recent Well+Good wellness piece on post-workout stretching, Dr. Gregory Rubin (sports medicine physician at OrthoCollier) underlines a key point:

“You’re not preventing any injuries by doing it right after,” Dr. Rubin says. It’s not affecting your recovery, nor will it affect whether you experience delayed onset muscle soreness, or even if you get overuse injuries from activities like running. “There’s no clear tie between stretching and athletic performance.” wellandgood.com+1
