use part of a method for accelerated Range of Motion with a simple Contract‒Relax (C‒R) approach.

This is based on the method called Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF); see the recommended reading list for references.

The C‒R approach has three stages:
– Taking a limb into a stretch position and holding it there for 20 seconds or so (larger muscles are held for longer) until the part being stretched relaxes tangibly; a partner can give feedback on this
– Gently pushing or pulling against a suitable resistance using the muscle in which the stretch is felt
– Stop contracting, and relax, and take a breath in
– On a deliberate breath out, re-stretching and holding that final position for 30 seconds or so (longer for larger muscles); all the while, cultivate the deepest possible state of relaxation you can (apart from what you need to do to support the position). Make sure you are experiencing the full suite of sensations the body is reflecting to you (so, being present), and not practising avoidance behaviour! Book today . You will feel amazing!
