Stretching vs. End Range Movement Strength

Stretching is a go-to technique for most trying to improve their mobility and reduce their injury risk…but is it the most effective method to bulletproofing your body? Let’s break down what stretching actually means and is best used for, as well as what end range movement strength is and how that can help truly bulletproof your body!

Here’s a quick video, more in depth breakdown below!  

Stretching

Stretching is everyone’s go to when when someone is looking to improve mobility…but is it the most effective? Stretching is exactly what it sounds like, you’re stretching the muscle past it’s normal range of motion but the effects aren’t forever lasting. Stretching is best used to help prevent tightness after a workout and/or help increase blood flow and improve recovery but isn’t the best for trying to increase long term mobility or strength through your range of motion.

End Range Movement Strength

This is where end range movement strength training comes in! What the heck is even that?! It’s the ability be strong and efficient through a full range of motion. Sometimes the issue can be that you don’t even know what your end rage is supposed to be because you’re too tight or have never had the ability to get there. This is where a movement assessment with a professional movement coach can help! Once you discover what your end range should be and which joints you need to improve it’ll be much easier to understand how to program for proper movement strength progressions!

Stay tuned for our top end range mobility drills and movement strength exercises to help maximize your movement, mobility and performance!
