RTTC #147 The Finisher Framework Part 5 - Stretching and Mobility

Send us a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle, you'll learn the difference between stretching and mobility, why both are essential parts of the recovery process, and how to use them strategically to support consistent training for your runDisney race. 

Dr. Ali explains that static stretching helps improve flexibility and reduce soreness, while mobility is better for runners who are very sore, tight, or recovering from injury. 

She shares why overstretching can make pain worse, especially for those with tendon issues like Achilles tendonitis, and gives practical advice on how long to hold stretches, how to avoid nerve pain, and how to scale recovery time based on workout intensity.

You'll also hear why more isn't always better and how to use this part of the Finisher Framework to keep training without falling apart.

  Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
  I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
