Touching your toes (with your hands or head) requires more than just flexible hamstrings.
In the “Mechanics of Touching Your Toes” we break this skill of pike & head to toe down into its fundamental components and look at how your nervous system interacts with each piece.
You will learn:
- How your brain limits your flexibility (stretch tolerance)
- The optimal forward fold technique
- the passive to active spectrum / assisted to resisted spectrum
- Which muscles get stretched
- How to stretch muscles like your hamstrings
- The muscles that need to be strong
- About the sciatic nerve
