Muscle strength is critical to joint stability, so if you’ re trying to improve your flexibility around a particular joint, but the muscles that stabilise that joint are weak, all you’ re doing is making that joint more vulnerable to injury.
Tip # 3: Work on strength as well as flexibility. As the strength of your muscle improves, especially at the end ranges of motion, so will your flexibility.
4. Types of Stretching
There are many different types of stretching( or ways to stretch), and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages. 3 Some are more suitable for warming up; some are better for injury rehabilitation; while others are great for athletic improvement.
Dynamic stretching, for example, is great for warming up and assisting athletes involved in sports that require fast ballistic type movements. But dynamic stretching is not the best choice for improving flexibility. So which types of stretching are best for improving range of motion?
Static stretching is by far the best form of stretching for improving your flexibility and range of motion. In particular, long hold static stretching( held for longer than 30 seconds) and PNF( proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching. Static stretches are stretching exercises that are performed without movement. In other words, you get into the stretch position and hold the stretch for a specific amount of time.
Tip # 4: Long hold static stretching and PNF stretching are the most effective forms of stretching for improving your flexibility quickly and permanently.
5. Variety of Stretches
There are hundreds of muscles in the body and it’ s not uncommon for one muscle group to be made up of two, three or more smaller muscles. And they’ re all somewhat interconnected to each other.
Tight hamstrings can cause lower back problems; tight hip muscles can lead to knee pain; and tight chest muscles can cause upper back pain.
If you’ re trying to improve the flexibility of your hamstrings, for example, then you need to be doing as many different hamstring stretches as you can think of.
