While growing our bones will grow quicker than muscles. Thus you develop an imbalance requiring stretching of the muscles. As we get older and more sedentary in life our muscles will become tight thus requiring stretching Everyone is different in their flexibility. Recommend seeing a physical therapist and develop a plan.
