Pain free movement

Flexibility is a very underrated discipline. There are two main types of stretching: passive and dynamic. We are interested in passive stretching. Stretching qualities:

• can help protecting soft tissue from damage.
  
• can result in muscles moving faster, therefore generating greater force/strength
  
• slows down the aging process

Negatives of being overly flexible:

• can lead to skeletal misalignment
  
• can result in joint injuries
  
• can result in the joints being worn out sooner as they are being used instead of muscle.

By using our joints and our muscles maximally requires two elements:

• moving the joints and muscles through their full range of motion
  
• developing the strength/control through their full range.

This will always be part of any program that I design for a client.
