The following video addresses the different methods used to stretch, specifically static vs dynamic.
Watch Athletic Trainers Cameron Purington (Gresham SportsCare, Barlow HS) and Alex Nelson (Gresham SportsCare, Reynolds HS) as they explain the differences and share the appropriate times to use static or dynamic stretching.
Take notes as they walk through a simple stretching program, which will work great prior to a work-out when warming up your muscles or after a work-out when cooling down and attempting to maintain or improve your flexibility.
