Step-by-Step Guide to Stretching: How to Stretch Properly for Flexibility

Three Muscle-Stretching Exercises

Presented by Pichai Chusin

Sports Scientist

These exercises may be practised at home when appropriate.

The video demonstrates three movements:

1. Static Stretching

2. Chest Stretch

3. Front-Thigh (Quadriceps) Stretch

Safety: Stretch gently to a mild pulling sensation, not pain. Do not bounce or hold the breath. Use a stable support for standing stretches, especially the front-thigh stretch. Stop if there is sharp pain, dizziness, numbness, weakness, or loss of balance. People recovering from surgery or injury, or those with significant joint, neurological, or cardiovascular conditions, should obtain individual professional advice.
