The application of active or passive stretching depends on the circumstances. Is the stretch before or after athletic competition? If before, active. If after, passive. Are we working with someone with muscular spasticity due to neuromuscular conditions? Are we working with an elite athlete or are we working with an elderly client? These are just a few examples on what would affect the implementation of a stretch. A thorough assessment during your first session will allow us to provide you the best service.
