SELF-MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (SMR)
Self-Myofascial Release focuses on the body’s
fascial system. By applying gentle force to the adhesion or “knot in the muscle”, the elastic collagenous fibers
are manipulated from a bundled position (that causes the adhesion) into an alignment that is more parallel with the direction
of the muscle and/or fascia.
STATIC STRETCHING
Static stretching is designed
to help restore muscle balance and joint mobility, relax tight muscles, with the ultimate objective of decreasing compensations
and faulty movement patterns, and reducing the risk of injury.
DYNAMIC DANCE STRETCHES
This
particular program involves smooth transitional movements designed to stretch tight muscles in a rhythmic pattern. The main
focus is on flexibility with coordination. Dancers benefit from this particular training to maintain balance, rhythm and form.
PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF)
This flexibility training promotes the neuromuscular
responses through stimulation of proprioceptors. This increases muscles’ motion beyond its usual range.

Flexibility is defined as:
soft tissue extensibility through a full range of motion. Efficient movement depends
on the structural integrity of one’s posture. Most of us have postural deviations, muscle imbalances and joint dysfunctions
, and it is crucial that we address these needs through flexibility training.
