The Stretch Zone Method addresses flexibility from a neurological perspective. This is achieved by dealing with the muscle's nervous tension ("tonus") to reach an optimal active range of motion. The goal is not to make a person more "flexible" or "elastic," but rather enable you to move more functionally by re-establishing a more ideal resting muscle tone. By re-educating the associated nerve-muscle reflex, the Stretch Zone Method leads to movement becoming easier and more efficient.
