Static Stretch Therapy (FALL ELECTIVE)

It is a common form of stretching that is safe and effective. There are five types of stretching: active, passive, dynamic, static and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF); however, IHU students will only participate in individualized static stretching. Static stretching is holding a stretch for a period of 8 to 10 seconds and maximally 2 minutes.  Watch the Static Stretch Therapy video on the IHU website for explanation of how to engage Static Stretch Therapy.
