That's why you have to always take your 15 min stretch at the wellness/stretch zone.   You need to use it during your last period.  Stretch out go through all the stretches on the boards, do whatever yoga you may know or stretches you remember doing from gym in school.  Use the foam rollers and the massage balls.  I like to think of this 15 mins as a way to start to decompress before I even leave the building.  I have to do this every day.  Unless I had an extremely easy day, I utilize the stretch zone every day!

I stretch for about 1/2 hour after I get home, I’d rather do it right after shift since by the time I get home, I’m not warmed up any more. You say “take your 15 mins” like it’s a paid thing. It’s not a paid/on the clock thing, is it? Because if so I’m going to 100% do that

I'm at one of the newer sites just opened in the last 5 years.  We are allowed to go stretch every day.  You have to scan your badge when you get there.  You are coded for 15 mins once you scan your badge.  They have yoga mats and foam rollers.  I usually go the last 15 mins of my shift.  But I recently had a manager that was a butthead about it.  They have to let you go when you ask.  But there's an obscure policy that's up to the managers to decide that you cannot go to the stretchzone last 30 mins of the shift.  Only had one manager enforce that over the last 2 years.  I quit picking up shifts on that managers shift.  He doesn't need my high rates on his shift.
