There are four major types of stretchingâstatic, PNF, dynamic and ballistic. 1  Static stretching is a technique where the muscle is slowly stretched and then held in the stretched position for several seconds. This type of stretching allows the muscle to be relaxed so that a greater length can be achieved. It is the most frequently used and most recommended type of stretching. There is a low risk of injury with this technique. PNF stretching is a much longer stretching session when compared to the other types.
PNF stretches (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretches) are a method of rapidly expanding your range of motion. While originally designed for rehabilitation, they are now used by athletes and weekend warriors as well. Weight training is one of the best methods of strength training!his style of PNF stretching is also called contract-relax-contract and contract-relax-agonist-contract (CRAC).This is very similar to the hold-relax. The therapist/helper moves the limb to the limit of its range of motion, and the patient then pushes against the therapist's resistance (for 20 seconds).
