Question

What is the only part in our body we do not stretch?

Answer 1

Answer:Masseter and temporalis

Why it’s unstretchable: The jaw can only open so far.

Why it’s a dang shame: Jaw tension is epidemic, and trigger points in these muscles cause a wide array of strange face and head pains, including toothaches, headaches, and earaches.

Answer 2

The quadriceps consists of four muscles: the skinny rectus femoris and the three huge “vasti” — vastus lateralis/intermedius/medialis. The vasti are only elongated by knee flexion, which is limited to about 120˚ when the calf hits the hamstrings. The vasti cannot be stretched strongly.
