Why Stretching Every Day Still Leaves You in Pain

September 26, 20251 min read

Hello There

At the pan centre we often get asked if stretching will help fix their pain.

The short answer is No; it won’t.

After searching and reading multiple research papers. The common finding is stretching can reduce the pain in people who did stretching programs, but no one in these studies was healed.

You may be wondering why?

The reason is you have many restrictions in the fascia in and around your muscles causing your dysfunction and pain.

By stretching you may temporarily relive the tension that comes with your pain. In bad cases stretching may even worsen your pain.

Sadly the pain always returns and will even get worse over time as the main cause of the problem has not been fixed.
