helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction

moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach through a full range of motion

stretching a muscle to the point of mild discomfort by holding it in a maximal stretch for an extended period

rapid bobbing, bouncing or jerky movements that use your body’s momentum to stretch

helping another person by holding the body part in position during the muscle contraction and then helping with stretching after the contraction when the muscles are relaxed

moving parts of your body continuously while gradually increasing reach, speed of movement or both gently through a full range of motion
