What is Static Stretching?

Static Stretching actually is the preferred method of stretching used by sports medicine professionals and athletic trainers for people of all ages and fitness levels. Developed in the training of Olympic athletes, Static Stretching in its many derivations (see To Stretch Or Not To Stretch article) has become the recommended method for improving everyone's flexibility. Static means, "no movement".

Static stretching is similar to yoga in that you get into a stretched pose, hold it for a short period and then relax. Static stretching is not like yoga in that there is no contortion or extreme twisting of the body. It is an effective method for relieving the pain and stiffness of "couch potatoes" everywhere.

The ReFIT Yourself Static Stretching Program includes both Static Active Stretching and Static Isometric Stretching.(see To Stretch Or Not To Stretch article) The Walkaerobics Study proved that the program relieves pain, increases range of motion ROM and improves posture in people over 50 years old.
