Hi Savannah – Increasing flexibility can often take some time. Depending on the level of tightness, an individual may be experiencing in his/her muscles, time frame may vary. Increasing flexibility may be done over several weeks or months. Stretch your muscles so you feel a gentle pull, not pain. You may stretch every day, however it may feel better to stretch 3-4 times per week to allow your muscles time to rest. If obtaining your goal is still difficult we recommend scheduling a free assessment with one of our physical therapists or athletic trainers so that we can better discuss what your individual needs may be. Each individual’s body is unique, with a large variety of factors that play into what may be needed to improve flexibility.
