Stretching Precautions

Never bounce during a stretch or perform any type of ballistic or forceful stretch.

When a muscle is stretched forcefully or in a ballistic manner, a reflex action occurs within the muscle to protect the joint.

The muscle is sent a signal by the Golgi tendon to contract quickly to protect against an over extension of the joint.

Unfortunately, a stretch is still in progress. Tissues can tear based on the conflicting movements.
