What Types of Stretching Exercises are Beneficial?
There are various types of stretching exercises that can be beneficial for nurses: 1. Static Stretching: Involves holding a stretch position for a short period. It helps in elongating the muscles and improving flexibility. 2. Dynamic Stretching: Involves moving parts of your body and gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both. 3. PNF Stretching: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) combines passive stretching and isometric stretching to achieve maximum static flexibility.
