I work in exercise rehab for those who have motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries.

There's been a lot of evidence to say light stretching throughout the workout can actually be effective at relaxing muscles. The goal of this type of stretching should simply be to tune down tense muscles, and NOT to increase flexibility.

THEN, after the workout would be a good time to actually work on getting flexible. This means pushing your threshold a little bit further to stretch the muscles.

Like Skinnypupp said, just don't go overly aggressive to the point where it hurts. Mild discomfort, but no pain

Alot of people stretch to the point where they get into really bad postures for their back and joints, which can actually increase inflammation
