PRESENTATION OUTLINE

1.

Is it Muscles?

  • Cannot permanently lengthen
  • Actin/Myosin are chemical bonds
  • Muscle Length is unlikely to be limiting factor
  • Muscular Strength is definitely a factor
2.

What about Fascia?

  • Possibly
  • Hydration of tissue via compression (SMR)
  • Global approach
  • Super strong - unlikely we will change the structure
3.

Nerves?

  • Most likely sensitization of the CNS is limiting flexibility
  • Flex training involves overriding Protective Reflexes
  • CNS is affected by beliefs and thoughts about danger and damage
4.

Pain

  • Pain does not always indicate danger or damage to the tissue
  • Not a good indicator of intensity of a stretch
  • Change in belief system
  • Flexibility training involves building a tolerance to the discomfort involved
