Rehabilitation/Individuals with Special Conditions
- Exercise therapy after physical therapy
- Posture analysis: corrective muscle imbalance, which muscles to
strengthen and which ones to stretch out. Better posture means making your
body function better
- Different types of stretching used: static stretching, dynamic
stretching, pnf (proprio neuromuscular facilitation, stretching
- Relief of aches and pains
Stretching
Active stretching is also referred to as
Static-active stretching. An active stretch is one where
you assume a position and then hold that position with no assistance other
than using the strength of your agonist muscles. A great example of
this is lifting your leg up high and then holding it there without the
support anything (other than your leg muscles themselves), and keeping the
leg in that extended position. The tension of the agonist muscles in
an active stretch helps to relax the muscles being stretched by reciprocal
inhibition (when an agonist muscle contracts, in order to cause the
desired motion, it usually forces an opposing, complementary antagonists
muscle to relax).
The practice of active stretching increases active flexibility and
strengthens the agonistic muscles. Active stretches are usually
quite difficult to hold and maintain for more than 10 seconds and rarely
need to be held any longer than 15 seconds for proper effectiveness.
Subsequently, many of the stretches and movements found in various forms
of yoga are active stretches.
Dynamic stretching involves moving parts of your body and
gradually increasing their reach, speed of movement, or both. Often times,
dynamic stretching is confused with the practice of ballistic stretching.
Dynamic stretching, or example, would consist of controlled leg and arm
swings that take an individual gradually to the limits of their natural
range of motion. Ballistic stretches on the other hand would involve
trying to force a part of the body to go beyond its natural range of
motion. With dynamic stretches, there are no bounces or sudden yanking,
tugging or jerking movements. An example of dynamic stretching would be
slow, controlled leg and/or arm swings, and/or torso twists.
Passive stretching is also referred to as
Relaxed stretching, and as Static-passive stretching. A passive stretch is
a stretch where an individual will assume a position and hold it with the
help of some other part of the body, or with the assistance of a partner
or some other equipment or apparatus. An example of passive stretching
would include lifting your leg up high and then holding it at that height
with your hand. An extreme example of a passive stretch is doing the
splits (in this case the floor is the "apparatus" that you use to maintain
your extended position).
Passive stretching is useful in relieving muscle spasms
that are healing after an injury. Of course, an individual should ALWAYS
check with their doctor first to see if it is okay to attempt to stretch
the injured muscles. Additionally, relaxed stretching is a great tool for
cooling down after a workout and it also helps to reduce post-workout
muscle fatigue, and soreness.
PNF stretching is currently the fastest and most effective
way known to increase static-passive flexibility. PNF is an acronym for
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. It is, theoretically, not a
type of stretching but is a technique of combining passive stretching and
isometric stretching in order to attain maximum static flexibility. In
actuality, the term PNF stretching is in on of itself quite misleading.
PNF was initially developed as a technique for rehabilitating victims of
stroke. PNF refers to any of several post-isometric relaxation stretching
techniques in which a muscle group is passively stretched, and then
contracts isometrically against resistance while it is in the stretched
position. The muscle group is then passively stretched again through the
resulting increased range of motion. PNF stretching usually requires the
help of a partner. The partner provides resistance against the isometric
contraction, and then again later passively takes the joint through its
increased range of motion. PNF stretching may be performed alone without
the assistance of a partner, though, it is usually more effective with the
assistance of a partner.
