Different Types of Stretches

Different Stretches 

Pilates Stretching 

- A Pilates Stretch is a  stretching routine that is unique for every client, as every person’s body has different needs. Working with one of our certified pilates instructors and using our pilates equipment, a Pilates Stretch is a mix of dynamic, static, passive and Active Isolated stretching (AIS). You’ll find that a Pilates stretch session is perfect for releasing tension and muscle stiffness, increasing circulation, and allowing your joints the movement they desperately need to continue feeling great and working favorably. 

Golf Stretch

- A Golf Stretch session stretches the major muscle groups of your upper back, chest, and glutes; focusing on stretching the muscles designed to promote flexibility, rotation, and strength. A Golf Stretch will alleviate back problems, increase blood flow and circulation, and help take a few swings off your golf game. 

Tennis Stretch

- A Tennis Stretch session stretches the major muscle groups in your upper body, quads, and hamstrings; focusing on maximizing performance for tennis players while minimizes injuries. Designed to improve posture, a Tennis Stretch will reduce back pain and help diminish muscle imbalances by increasing blood flow and circulation to overworked muscles. 

Baseball Stretch

- A Baseball Stretch session stretches the major muscle groups in your legs, your low back, and your core. By establishing a consistent stretching routine, baseball players can develop dynamic flexibility, helping to maintain healthy muscles and connective tissue, as well as reducing the risk of injury.

PNF

- Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique that can improve your range of motion and strength. It it a used by athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike to increase performance.

AIS 

- The Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) technique is the practice of holding each stretch for only two second's. This style of stretching is also known to work with the body’s natural design to boost circulation and increase the elasticity of muscle joints and fascia.

Dynamic Stretch 

- Dynamic stretches are active muscle movements where joints and muscles go through a full range of motion. They also help warm up your body before exercising. Dynamic stretches are functional and sport-specific that help increase muscle temperature and decrease muscle stiffness. 

Active or Static Stretch

 

- Active stretching is a process of improving flexibility. It’s the process of actively contracting one muscle as a way to stretch an opposing muscle. Active stretching is also often referred to as static active stretching — which means nonmoving — because the end position of the stretch is held for a set amount of time. It’s also a type of stretching that you do yourself, we can teach you how.

Passive Stretching

- Passive stretching is a technique in which you are relaxed and make no contribution to the range of motion. Instead, an person creates force to help you stretch. This stretch is best after a workout or when you feel muscle tightness.
