WHY STRETCH?

Smarter Ways to Warm Up , Prevent Injury and Improve Your Performance

Most of us were taught that stretching keeps our bodies flexible and strong. But there is ample research supporting a reversal in how science now understands stretching (“Stretching: The Truth”, Nov 2, 2008, The New York Times).  The gist:  muscles don’t respond well when stretched in isolation. In fact, most physiologists and kinesiologists now agree that isolated or “static” stretching may not only increase your tolerance for discomfort (not good), it can weaken your muscles and make them less ready to perform. Feeling confused? Feldenkrais can help.
