What stretching actually does to your body ft. Sofie Dossi

Fun video; and your personality is really easy to keep watching. Here's some insight in to types of stretching... I don't believe that static stretching creates the greatest increase in flexibility. I've worked as a PT and an athletic trainer and was always taught (and I've seen the effect in the lab) of massive flexibility gains when you use PNF stretching (proprioceptive, neuromuscular facilitation). Basically you stretch to your limit, and then contract against resistance through a full range of motion. This will inhibit the muscle spindle fibers from protecting a muscle and will allow you to gain massive flexibility gains in as little as 1-2 minutes. These gains come almost exclusively from the muscle, and some in the tendon. If you're curious about this process just google PNF Stretching and see a demonstration. The hamstring group is a great example, just because of the large amount of muscle there (you can see a really big effect). Thanks for making such high-caliber videos! Can't wait to see more!
