Dynamic/Active vs. Static Stretching: Which One Should You Choose? 🧘‍♂️🤸‍♀️
Stretching is essential for flexibility, recovery, and performance—but not all stretches are created equal. Let’s break it down 👇

🔄 Dynamic/Active Stretching
Involves moving in and out of a range of motion repeatedly. This method allows for more repetitions and consistency, making it great for warming up.

Examples: Leg swings 🦵, arm circles 🌀, walking lunges 🚶‍♂️

⏸️ Static Stretching
Involves holding a stretch for a prolonged period (typically 2–3 minutes). While it can show immediate gains in flexibility, it’s less effective before activity compared to dynamic stretches.

Examples: Hamstring hold 🤚, quad stretch 🦵, seated forward fold 🧘

⚠️ Why Dynamic Stretching Before Activity?
According to Phil Page (2012) in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, static stretching just before exercise can temporarily decrease strength and performance—especially in explosive movements like running or jumping 🏃‍♂️💥

So if you’re heading into a workout, dynamic stretching is the way to go!

🗝️ Consistency is Key!
No matter what type of stretch you do, remember:
👉 Little and often beats long and rare
👉 Stay regular for real progress
👉 Combine both types based on your goals

Exercise > Manual Therapy: Adapt, Don’t Abandon

Exercise is the key to long-term recovery—manual therapy might help in the short term, but it won’t build strength or resilience. Movement is what drives real change.

However, if an exercise hurts or isn’t working, don’t just stop—adjust it. Pain usually means the load isn’t well-managed, the form needs tweaking, or the exercise simply isn’t the best one for you. Swap, modify, or regress as needed. The goal isn’t just to move, but to move better.

Neural Glides: Free Your Nerves, Relieve Your Pain ⚡
If you're dealing with nerve impingement, neurotension, or radiculopathy, neural glides can help! These techniques improve nerve mobility, relieve pressure, and enhance nerve function.

How Do Neural Glides Work?
✅ Reduce Pressure – Helps free up nerves trapped by tight muscles or disc issues.
✅ Desensitize the Nerve – Reduces pain by improving tolerance to movement.
✅ Boost Axoplasmic Flow – Enhances nutrient transport for better nerve health.
✅ Improve Nerve Conduction – Supports faster signal transmission.

Which Nerve Glide Do You Need?
⚡ Sciatic Nerve Glide – For lower back, hamstring, or leg pain.
⚡ Femoral Nerve Glide – Targets front thigh pain or tightness.
⚡ Median Nerve Glide – Great for carpal tunnel or forearm tingling.
⚡ Ulnar Nerve Glide – Helps with numbness in the pinky & ring finger.
⚡ Radial Nerve Glide – Used for wrist, thumb, or triceps issues.

💡 Key Tip: Move through a pain-free range—don’t force the stretch!
