  1. DID YOU KNOW STRETCHING COULD IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL HEALTH? DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF STRETCHING TODAY! To ensure that you can either avoid – or avoid exacerbating – injuries, here’s a comprehensive guide to different types of stretching and their benefits. WWW.BEYONDLIMITSPT.COM/

  2. PNFStretching PNF stretching, short for proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, is a set of techniques most commonly encountered in a rehabilitation setting to restore range of motion to an injured or weakened muscle. Begin by moving the limb in question or target muscle into a stretched position, and then contract that muscle group for 4-6 seconds while a helper or fixed object (like a wall or table) provides resistance that keeps everything in place. DynamicStretching Dynamic techniques are a bit more lively, putting the body in motion and relying on momentum to flow through a series of repeated movements. Consider a hamstring stretch in which the leg is swung upward in a kick through its range of motion, but gradually increasing in height with each pass. PassiveStretching For most folks, images of “stretching” tend to conjure passive techniques. Whether the pose is held by hand or with gravity, one is largely stationary and exerts a force to lengthen the target muscle by reaching the outer limits of the range of motion.

  3. ActiveStretching Active stretching techniques require adopting and holding a position or pose using only the muscles in the corresponding group to the one being targeted. Howcanstretchinghelpwith wellness? Stretching provides numerous benefits to help your body keep itself healthier. One of the most important of these is stress relief. Everyday life throws lots of challenges at you, and the resulting stress can be held in your muscles. Gainthebenefitstoday! There are right ways and wrong ways to stretch. For one thing, different kinds of stretches offer different benefits. Your particular situation might call for active stretches (in which you move a body part with no assistance), passive stretches (in which the body part is held or supported), or both.
