We’ve all said it: “My hips are so tight.”
“I just need a good stretch.”
But what if tightness isn’t a problem to fix—but a sensation to get curious about?
In this episode, I unpack the deeper story behind the word “tight.”
We explore how tightness is a subjective experience, not a diagnosis—and why stretching might not be the lasting solution we think it is.
You’ll hear:
- How practitioner language can shape healing outcomes
- What stretching actually does to your brain and nervous system
- How breath and movement affect our perception of tightness
- Why we may crave stretching as a form of sensory self-soothing
- A gentle, body-first way to start listening instead of fixing
If you’ve been stretching and still feel stuck, this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen in for science, sensation, and a whole lot of self-compassion.
