  • Are you tired of living with chronic pain?
    Nov 5 2024

    Chronic Pain can feel like a heavy weight, dragging you down and limiting your happiness.

    But here’s some great news: contracted stretching could be your ticket to relief.

    Thousands have discovered how this technique can help ease their pain and improve their mobility.

    In fact in 2007 I discovered this amazing technique and saved myself from multiple surgeries!

    So, what is contracted stretching?

    It’s a simple yet effective method that involves stretching a muscle while it’s in a contracted state.

    Instead of just relaxing a muscle and then stretching it, you keep it engaged and tight.

    This technique enhances flexibility and helps release tension stored in the muscle.

    Here’s how it works:

    When you contract a muscle and then stretch it, you send a clear message to your brain.

    It signals that this muscle is ready to lengthen, resulting in a deeper and more effective and safer stretch.

    Let’s say you’re dealing with tight hamstrings.

    (Don’t we all???)

    To use contracted stretching, lie on your back and lift one leg straight up keeping the opposite leg long on the floor.

    Now, flex your foot and pull your toes towards you while keeping your hamstrings engaged.

    Now using either a strap or your hand behind your leg kick away making the muscles work as you lower the leg against that pressure

    At the bottom…

    Keep the muscles engaged and pull in against the resistance to a full deep stretch.

    Feel the difference?

    Repeat that 5 to 7 times to strengthen and stretch your central hamstrings.

    This method doesn’t just feel good; it can help release chronic tension and pain.

    Incorporating contracted stretching into your routine can transform how your body feels.

    Whether it’s tight shoulders, achy hips, or sore back muscles, this technique can help you regain your mobility and ease discomfort.

    So, why not give it a try?

    You have nothing to lose but the pain!

    Start with just a few minutes a day, and see how your body responds.

    Remember, relief is within your reach.

    Get started with contracted stretching and join the many who’ve found their path to pain-free living!

    Move well, stay healthy, be happy, find your purpose and live every day with passion.
