Expert Tip for Your Lifestyle

"Prioritize 'active tension' at the end of your range of motion rather than passive stretching; focus on feeling the muscle engage to pull the joint into place rather than letting ligaments bear the load."

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I avoid stretching if I am hypermobile?

Yes, avoid passive stretching. Focus instead on active mobility and strengthening the muscles surrounding the joint to provide necessary stability.

How do I know if I am using my muscles or my ligaments?

If you feel a 'locking' sensation or a dull ache deep in the joint, you are likely hanging on your ligaments. If you feel tension in the muscle belly, you are successfully engaging your stabilizers.
