The Evolution Of Our Stretching | From Optimal Performance To Injury Avoidance

Jan 12, 2025

We're revisiting an old topic .... with some updates.

In Episode #471 of 'Musings' we discuss: a previous episode from mid 2020 (#49) noting the changes in our perspectives, more on static/dynamic stretching, the specialised techniques of PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) & ballistic stretching, why anyone can achieve a reasonable level of flexibility, how we injured ourselves by not following our own advice and how Juan likes to clean and jerk babies.

Very sad puppy this week, we miss your support :'(
