Stretching®

Features

What is

A unique system backed by research using gentle low intensity passive and static stretching, and the principle of SBC™ to decrease neuro-muscular tension and facilitate the body's natural healing.

microStretching® is a paradigm shift challenging the notion of no pain no gain. It engages the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for healing. To facilitate this, the principle of SBC™ and specific parameters are used to promote the relaxation response.

Purpose

This approach is focused on the recovery, regeneration, and relaxation of the body. It is not solely a stretching technique.

Although the technique doesn't focus on flexibility, improvements are commonly observed.

Researched

microStretching® is an evidence based approach supporting the clinical observations dating back to the 1990's.

microStretching® research examined the relationship between stretch intensity and the inflammatory response. This research was published by Springer.

Self-microStretching

Unlike traditional stretching, microStretching® self-stretches adhere to the principle of SBC™ and the parameters of microStretching® which makes stretching more effective and enjoyable. These self-stretches are a practical and cost effective approach towards recovery and regeneration.

Passive microStretching

A table evidence based approach using the microStretching® parameters and principle of SBC™ focused on decreasing neuro-muscular tension thereby fully engaging the relaxation response. This system of low intensity passive static stretching can be used for numerous clinical applications involving both physical and emotional healing.
