What are stretch classes?

Stretch classes are another form of fitness classes, targeting muscles, nerve, & breath. Most of the stretching exercises are done using movements via bodyweight training, & done in a slow & controlled motion, which helps to reduce the risk of injury & be able to avoid pushing the stretches to the point of pain. Stretch classes are great for fitness as you increase blood flow towards each joint using functional stretching, increases metabolism, & help to lower stress levels. Stretching muscles improve your overall health & when you stretch your body in a workout that gives your body a sort of stretch therapy, all your muscles, tendons, & ligaments get to decrease injury.

These sessions create a dynamic form of training giving you a workout/exercise whilst stretching & working through your personal range of motion. Benefits of dynamic stretches or a workout class

Static stretching prior to a workout or fitness training is not suggested as it has been shown in some studies to even increase the risk of injuries to muscles as it doesn't prepare the body properly. Muscles needs to stretch prior to training & the benefits of session benefits not only the muscle but your overall health as well from more joints moving delivering nutrient rich blood in & out of the joints.

Does assisted stretching techniques work?

Assisted stretching uses stretching techniques to target the fascia to improve posture, pains/aches, & improvements in joints range of motion. Functional stretch therapy brings your range of motion to increase by manipulating the nervous system. Stretch therapy is used in sports medicine for both healthy athletes & those looking to manage pains caused by either poor posture or injury to help with movements & be pain-free. Functional stretch therapy targets the major muscle groups by using both static stretches, providing resistance for clients to improve the function(communication) between the nervous system & muscle. A sign that you need to stretch your muscles would be the hip flexors, when they are tight your body may give you specific sign such as ache on the low back etc. As the hip flexor is hard to access, sessions to improve the function of the muscle needs the expertise of a stretch therapy practitioner. A stretch session with a stretch therapist is definitely better as communication level is more personal using resistance & feedback of the person than in a class.
