frequently asked question
1. How often should I undergo flexibility testing?
Experts recommend flexibility testing every 3 to 6 months, especially for athletes, those recovering from injuries, or individuals working on improving mobility and flexibility. If you're undergoing treatment, regular follow-ups are advised.
2. Can flexibility testing help prevent injuries?
Yes! Regular flexibility assessments help detect tight or imbalanced muscles, which are more prone to injury. Early detection reduces the risk of sprains, muscle tears, and stiffness.
3. What happens after the flexibility test?
Based on your results, our experts at FITCLINIC will create a customized stretching and mobility program to enhance flexibility, strengthen muscles, and improve movement efficiency.
4. Is flexibility testing painful?
No, all our tests are non-invasive and designed to measure movement comfortably without causing pain. Some individuals with medical conditions may experience minor discomfort initially, but with consistent flexibility training, pain and stiffness typically decrease.
