In deep stretching, your stretch reflex can kick in - like catching yourself before a fall. It’s triggered by muscle spindles—tiny sensory receptors embedded in your muscles.

Because if you push too far stretching, your muscles fight back. That’s why we use long, passive holds with max 7/10 intensity and

Your stretch reflex (myotatic reflex) is governed by your muscle spindles, sensory receptors inside your muscles that are sensing for “too fast” or “too far”.

There are a number of tricks to reduce your stretch reflex, but here are the top two: (1) Breathe to relax, into the count of four, out for eight (2) Repetition,
