Safe partner stretching

Safe partner stretching is a great way to get that extra bit further than you can’t get on your own.

Remember, your partner can’t feel what you feel, so communication is the key to get the greatest benefit from those helping hands!

🤸🏼‍♀️When you are not feeling much: Ask your partner to stretch a little further or try to adjust your position to exactly how your coach has described it.

🤸🏻When you feel a deep stretch that is not causing pain and is not pulling your joint into an unnatural position:
Let your partner know this is perfect and hold here. Try to breath and go with the stretch, rather than tense up and create resistance.

🤸🏼‍♂️When the stretch is causing pain or feels too powerful:
This is too much, ask your partner to reduce the stretch until it becomes a more comfortable deep stretch.

Don’t forget to book in with your physio if you have any lingering discomforts.
