How it works
Static stretching increases sarcomere length and reduces passive muscle stiffness. For chronic muscle pain, stretching restores resting muscle length and reduces hypertonic muscle tension.
Static stretching does not reliably prevent DOMS. More effective for chronic muscle tension and flexibility maintenance. Dynamic stretching before exercise is more appropriate than static stretching.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
