Flexibility Training

Flexibility training should be progressive, systematic, and based on an assessment.  There are 3 phases of flexibility training:  corrective, active, and functional.

Corrective:  improves muscle imbalances and altered joint motion by using self-myofascial release and static stretching.

Active:  improves the extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency by using self-myofascial release and active-isolated stretching.

Functional:  improves the extensibility of soft tissue and increases neuromuscular efficiency by using integrated, multiplanar techniques that move through the full range of motion....NASM.
