SELF-MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (SMR)
Self-Myofascial Release focuses on the body’s fascial system. By applying gentle force to the adhesion or “knot in the muscle”, the elastic collagenous fibers are manipulated from a bundled position (that causes the adhesion) into an alignment that is more parallel with the direction of the muscle and/or fascia.
STATIC STRETCHING
Static stretching is designed to help restore muscle balance and joint mobility, relax tight muscles, with the ultimate objective of decreasing compensations and faulty movement patterns, and reducing the risk of injury.
DYNAMIC DANCE STRETCHES
This particular program involves smooth transitional movements designed to stretch tight muscles in a rhythmic pattern. The main focus is on flexibility with coordination. Dancers benefit from this particular training to maintain balance, rhythm and form.
PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF) This flexibility training promotes the neuromuscular responses through stimulation of proprioceptors. This increases muscles’ motion beyond its usual range.
