Why Must One Stretch?
If you can’t move, you can’t improve! Loss of mobility is not a normal process of aging. It is a process of neglect.
Your degree of mobility determines the quality of your life. Mobility is life itself. You cannot survive without it.
Our Active Stretching method of flexibility training was designed to eliminate force from stretching procedures. Force, regardless of how slight, causes the opposite of what one wishes to achieve. No one should apply static force, bouncing, or rhythmic motions in an attempt to increase flexibility. You are working against your body's natural mechanism.
