Code for stretching

Clues for the mechanical signals needed for tissue elongation can be derived from the viscoelastic properties of the musculoskeletal tissues. For effective stretching the manual therapy techniques should contain the following elements of adequate tensional forces, adequate duration and repetition.

Tensional forces should be within the late elastic region to early plastic region of tissues.

Duration should be performed slowly and maintained to allow for viscoelastic changes to take place.

Repetitive stretching is more likely to activate the long-term adaptive elongation process.

It is important to note that in many cases even when individuals stretch for a few weeks once they stop the muscle returns to its original functional length within two to three weeks.

Andrew Howard - Registered Osteopath in Central London

From experience I believe that there is always something an osteopath can do to help. It may be as simple as just enabling you to perform everyday tasks with less pain. This really can make all the difference!

Andrew qualified from The College of Osteopaths and has worked in physical therapy in central London for over 10 years as a lifeguard, YMCA aerobics and fitness instructor, sports injury and deep tissue massage therapist, dry needling and trigger point acupuncturist and as an osteopath.

He trained as a professional ballet and contemporary dancer at Urdang School of performing arts and at the Rambert School of ballet and contemporary dance.

Drawing on a broad spectrum of techniques, he combines structural osteopathy with massage, stretching and dry needling.

Working in central London, he provides simple advice on exercise and posture, which can be easily incorporated into your daily routine. This enables you to prevent injury and better equip your body to deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life.

It is about helping the body to be comfortable and making sure every part is free to move.
