Category: Assisted Stretching

Assisted stretching is a technique that involves a trained professional helping an individual to stretch their muscles and increase their range of motion. It is often used as a form of therapy or training to improve athletic performance, prevent injury, or relieve pain and stiffness. The therapist or trainer may use their hands or tools such as straps or rollers to support and guide the individual through a variety of stretches that target specific muscles or joints. This technique is different from static stretching, where an individual stretches their own muscles without assistance. Assisted stretching can help to increase flexibility, improve posture, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall mobility. It can be tailored to the specific needs and goals of the individual, and can be incorporated into a regular fitness or rehabilitation program.
