Functional Flexibility is essential for optimal movement and performance. Here are the key points:
📚 Biomechanical Understanding: It requires a detailed understanding of how the body functions during different tasks. Each function is unique and task-dependent.
❌ Beyond General Stretching: General stretching techniques won't suffice. Practitioners need to consider the muscle's role during specific tasks. This approach ensures that flexibility is functional, not just theoretical.
🎯 Proprioceptive Awareness: Always be mindful of proprioceptive input and feedback. As the body changes angles and positions, so does its function. Techniques must mirror the intended function for flexibility to be effective.
🧘♀️ Three-Dimensional Motion: Consider how muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joint capsules, and joints move in all three planes during a task. This principle of mobility-stability ensures appropriate motion and stability tailored to the individual and task.
🔄 Consistency with Function: Our flexibility program's positions and motions should match those required by the desired function.
🌐 Tri-Plane Approach: Functional flexibility requires understanding the three-dimensional function of all muscles and muscle groups.Three Primary Principles of Functional Flexibility:
