Hyperbolic Stretching for Women

 

Unlike conventional methods that focus on simply stretching a muscle, this unique method also trains your muscle survival reflex.

At any given moment, muscle flexibility and muscle contraction are controlled by your brain. The main function of this control mechanism is to prevent muscles from being damaged.

This is done by two mechanisms called survival reflexes. Here's a quick example.

When a muscle is stretched beyond its usual, daily range of motion, an impulse from the spinal cord is immediately received by the muscle to contract, in order to avoid injury or damage. This stops you from stretching deeper. In science, this reflex is called myotatic reflex.

But there is also an opposite reflex called inverse myotatic reflex that protects your muscles from excessive contractions. For example, when you bench press a weight that your muscles can't handle, sudden relaxation of muscles activates upon the development of excessive tension. The barbell quickly ends on your chest.

You're probably getting the idea already. Since muscular contraction induces deep muscle relaxation, which in turn makes muscles more flexible, this program uses contractions to make your muscles more and more flexible within one single stretching session as well as from one session to the next.
