Ok to do soft tissue work before stretching

Does anyone see a problem with doing soft tissue work prior to doing the stretch series to loosen up fascia and increasing the ROM? That way my body call get into a better position from the start, just wondering if this would be harmful, slow down progress, or just be an unnecessary waste of time.

Hey Jeremy,

It's not only ok, I recommend to do some soft tissue work before stretching.  It makes all the difference!  Take 5-10 minutes overall and stay a minute or two on your stiffer spots :)
