Why can't I touch my toes, and how do I get flexible?

Not being able to touch your toes is usually a combination of tight hamstrings, tight hips and a stiff lower back. It is extremely common, and the answer is not to yank yourself down harder - that only makes the body resist.

Gravity Stretching opens the whole posterior chain gently and with support, while decompression frees the lower back so it can fold instead of guarding. Because nothing is forced, the body relaxes and range returns faster than from aggressive stretching.

Flexibility comes back with steady, comfortable practice. You will likely notice progress within a few sessions.
