CR (contract and relax) is a type of PNF stretchin CR (contract and relax) is a type of PNF stretching. It is a method utilised to increase ROM and flexibility. CR stretching increases ROM by increasing the length of the muscle and increasing neuromuscular efficiency. CR stretching has been found to increase ROM in trained, as well as untrained, individuals. Heres how you do it - 1. Contract the muscle without moving (also called isometric), such as pushing gently against the stretch without actually moving. 2. Relax and stretch! Happy stretching!

Difficulty breathing? RULE OUT: Any breathing di Difficulty breathing? RULE OUT: Any breathing difficulties should be taken seriously. Please rule out medical conditions first by seeing your doctor. WHY: It may be tightness in your mid back muscles and neck muscles. Another potential cause may be your breathing technique and lack of movement in your back and neck. REMEDY: Try taking some slow deep breaths while lying face down with a pilates mat or pillow under your rib cage. This will force your breath into the back of the ribs and help expand the rib cage. Try imagining the breath blowing up 2 balloons in your upper back area. NEED MORE? Stretch and release trigger point activity through your neck and back muscles and see if your breathing gets better or come see us for a personalised assessment, treatment and care plan.
