The Science Behind The Vital Stretch® Method
The Vital Stretch Method is a revolutionary approach to stretching and flexibility training, developed by experts Melissa and Rob. Their expertise in the field has led to the creation of a comprehensive and effective method that has been gaining popularity among fitness enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The Vital Stretch® Method Incorporates 3 Main Components:
Targeted Mobility
The movement of your body is essential for maintaining flexibility and function.
The Vital Stretch® uses stretching exercises to increase the range of motion and help your body move freely.
This can involve moving your body as far as it can go and then pushing a little farther, always within a safe range to avoid injury.
Fascial Stretching
Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that wraps around muscles, bones, and organs.
The Vital Stretch® addresses fascial tightness by employing stretches that target this connective tissue, aiming to alleviate restrictions and improve mobility.
This can lead to reduced stiffness and enhanced movement quality.
PNF Stretching
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a technique that combines passive stretching and isometric contractions.
It's designed to increase flexibility and range of motion.
The Vital Stretch® may use PNF techniques like 'hold-relax' or 'contract-relax' to facilitate deeper stretching and improve muscular strength.
Leveraging the Body's Natural Neurological Reflexes & Pathways to Alleviate Tissue & Muscle Tension Without Discomfort.
These methods are integrated into a comprehensive program at The Vital Stretch to help individuals achieve better flexibility, performance, and recovery from injuries. The science behind these techniques is based on understanding how the body's muscles, fascia, and nervous system work together to allow for movement and flexibility.
