Active Isolated Stretching
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a dynamic stretching technique where you actively contract the muscle opposite the one being stretched for just a brief period, typically two seconds, to enhance flexibility and range of motion. This method focuses on isolating specific muscle groups and is known for its effectiveness in improving flexibility while minimizing the risk of muscle strain.
Percussion Therapy
Percussion therapy is a form of manual therapy that utilizes a handheld device to rapidly apply pressure and vibration to muscle tissue. It is often used to help relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation, and promote relaxation and recovery.
Cupping
Cupping is an alternative therapy that involves placing cups onto the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to promote blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and alleviate various conditions, leaving temporary circular marks on the skin.
TENS stretching/strengthening
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to alleviate pain by stimulating nerves. Using it while stretching and performing strengthening exercises will increase flexibility and muscle power, respectively, aiming to improve joint mobility and overall physical function.
Workout Programming
A workout program with a strong emphasis on recovery allows for better muscle repair, reducing the risk of overtraining and injury while promoting sustained progress in fitness goals. It also enhances overall well-being by supporting mental and physical rejuvenation, ensuring a balanced and sustainable approach to fitness.
