before exercise it's to warm up your muscles so that when you start running (or whatever it is you're doing) you don't cramp up. alternatively, stretching just feels good.

Stretching is useful for both injury prevention and injury treatment. If done properly, stretching increases flexibility and this directly translates into reduced risk of injury. Stretching is also thought to improve recovery and may enhance athletic performance. Additionally, increased flexibility of the neck, shoulders and upper back may improve respiratory function.
