What is one common stretch used during a StretchLab session?

The hamstring stretch is commonly used during a StretchLab session because it effectively targets one of the largest muscle groups in the body, which is critical for overall mobility and flexibility. StretchLab emphasizes the importance of flexibility in enhancing performance, reducing injury risk, and improving overall physical well-being.

Incorporating this stretch helps to lengthen the hamstrings, which can often be tight due to prolonged sitting or physical activity. A well-executed hamstring stretch alleviates tension and promotes better range of motion in the hips and pelvis, contributing to improved posture and functioning throughout the day. StretchLab instructors are trained to perform this stretch safely and effectively, ensuring participants receive the maximum benefit while minimizing the risk of strain.
