Top 10 Benefits of Assisted Stretching

Have you ever heard of assisted stretching? In recent years, more and more people are facing problems such as muscle tension and joint stiffness. Therefore, assisted stretching is popular as an effective way to relax the body. In this article, ABEGET will take you through a detailed look at what assisted stretching is, what its benefits are, and provide some practical advice to help improve your quality of life.

 

What is Assisted Stretching?

Assisted stretching (also known as partner stretching, facilitated stretching, or stretch therapy) is a passive stretching method that has a partner, a trained professional, or specialized equipment to help you achieve a deeper stretch, thereby more effectively relieving muscle tension, promoting blood circulation, and improving body flexibility.

Assisted Stretching Benefits

Assisted stretching is a form of physical activity that is suitable for almost people, and has many benefits and advantages for people who want to improve muscle and joint conditions.

1. Provide Physical Flexibility

Having a partner or a professional coach to help you stretch can achieve a larger stretching range, which can significantly improve an individual's flexibility and range of motion. Especially for older people, which helps them regain their physical flexibility of youth.

2. Promote Blood Circulation

Regularly assisted stretching exercises can stimulate blood flow to increase the elasticity of blood vessels, help prevent vascular hardening, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Targeted Muscle Relief

A partner or professional can identify specific muscle groups that may be tight or need stretching and target stretching, which is a great option for athletes or people who do regular physical work.

4. Improve Athletic Performance

Stretching before exercise can also help improve sports effects and performance to a certain extent. Compared with stretching by yourself, assisted stretching can safely allow for deeper stretches and can help improve your speed and strength.

5. Get Risk of Injury

Frequent assisted stretching can significantly increase the flexibility of joints and muscles, thereby reducing the risk of injury during exercise. For example, before high-intensity sports such as running or jumping, assisted stretching can warm up muscles and joints, increase their range of motion, and thus reduce the possibility of injury.

6. Maintain Figure

Regular stretching exercises can help improve various health problems caused by long periods of sitting and lack of exercise, including muscle tension, neck and waist pain. It can also improve and prevent body shape problems such as rounded shoulders and hunchbacks.

7. Improve Safety

Professional passive stretching allows us to achieve the maximum stretching effect in a more relaxed state. At the same time, during the stretching process, continuous communication with the stretching partner can ensure that each stretch is safe and effective.

8. Help with Recovery

Assisted stretching is often used in physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. It is a valuable supplementary therapy in the recovery process after injury. It can help patients with muscle and ligament injuries, fractures, etc. recover from injuries and surgeries.

9. Stress Reduction

In addition to the benefits of physical health, assisted stretching can also improve mental health. Through simple stretching movements, it helps people quickly recover their energy and maintain a good mentality.

 10. Individuation

Many assisted stretching institutions provide customized one-on-one services, with professional coaches to assess your flexibility and design the most suitable stretching plan for you based on your needs and physical condition.

These combined benefits make assisted stretching a recommended method of health maintenance.

How to do Assisted Stretching Correctly?

The correct stretching method is the key factor for assisted stretching to achieve better results. The following is a guide for assisted stretching for reference only.

Warm Up: To avoid strain, warm up before assisted stretching

Communication: Communicate clearly and effectively with your stretching partner so that your stretching partner can help you better.

Position Yourself: Position yourself so that both of you feel comfortable. It is best to lie on a padded bench or table.

Gradually Increase: Apply tension slowly and gradually when stretching to avoid sudden force that may cause muscle damage.

Focus on Relaxation: The person being stretched should relax the muscles as much as possible, keep breathing naturally, and avoid holding their breath.

Maintain the Stretching Action: Each stretching action should generally be maintained for 15 to 30 seconds, and each action should be repeated several times to ensure full stretching.

When assisting with stretching, make sure your partner knows the correct techniques to avoid injury.

 

Other Choice for Muscle Relief

Assisted stretching is favored by people because of its excellent relaxation effects. When you need to perform assisted stretching but no one is available to help you, using body massagers to massage your muscles becomes one of the best options. You can better enjoy the pleasure of exercise if you further combine assisted stretching with a massage gun. Now, let's take a look at the different types of massage guns.

Small Massage Gun: Despite its small size, the massage effect of the small massager is no worse than that of other massage guns. It can generally penetrate into the muscle tissue of 6-8mm and quickly relieve fatigue. Because of its small size and lightweight design, it is very suitable for carrying and use outside, and is widely loved by consumers.

Hot and Cold Massage Gun: The massager with hot and cold compress function not only inherits the functions of traditional fascia guns, but also can deal with muscle group problems more comprehensively through cold and hot compress. Cold compress can slow down the blood flow to the injured part, and hot compress can accelerate the muscle repair ability.

4-Head Hand Held Massage Tool: Compared with traditional fascia guns, this massager uses a unique multi-head linkage technology, which enables it to cover a larger massage area, which is very suitable for large muscle groups such as neck, back, and shoulders.
