TYPES OF STRETCHING ACCORDING TO DURATION OF
STRETCH:
1) STATIC
STRETCHING: Soft
tissues are elongated just past the point of its resistance & then held in
the lengthen position with a sustained stretch force over a period of time.
2) CYCLIC
(INTERMITTENT) STRETCHING: Short duration stretch stretch force repeatedly but gradually applied
then released and then reapplied.
“In cyclic stretcing low intensity
stretching is used & In ballistic stretching high intensity stretching is
used hence both are different from eachother”.
TYPES OF STRETCHING ACCORDING TO SPEED OF STRETCH:
3) BALLISTIC STRETCHING: A rapid high speed and high intensity forceful
intermittent stretch.
TYPES OF
STRETCHING ACCORDING TO MODE OF STRETCH:
4 ) MANUAL
STRETCHING: A therapist applies force externally to move the involve body
segment slightly to the point beyond the point of tissue resistance and available
ROM.
5) SELF
STRETCHING: Stretching procedures carried out by patient independently
after careful instruction & supervison practice.
6)
MECHANICAL STRETCHING: Stretch force applied by devices with low intensity
over a prolonged period of time to create permanent lengthening of soft tissue
