The Science Behind Stretching
Stretch professionals in Stretch Room often use a method known as Muscle Energy Technique (MET), commonly applying Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF).
These techniques work by tapping into the body’s natural responses—autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition—to help reset and lengthen muscles. The result: a smoother, more effective stretch that gradually increases your range of motion.
Benefits of Stretching
Increase Range of Motion and Flexibility
Maximize your workouts by being able to exercise in the full range of motion for your muscles and joints. Improve your performance in athletic pursuits and daily life.
Improve Posture
Poor posture leads to nagging aches and pains, ultimately leading to injury, muscle imbalance, and degenerative joint disease.
Reduce Injury Potential
Recruit proper muscles for your physical activities and don’t overcompensate. Minimize wear and tear on joints because you are loading joints properly and evenly.
Improve Circulation
Bring needed nutrients to muscles and remove waste products. Blood flow to the brain is increased, improving mental performance.
