Are you stretching your spastic muscles WRONG after stroke?

What is the difference between forcing stretches and prolonged stretching for spasticity after stroke? Prolonged stretching is a technique I usually recommend to help manage spasticity and prevent contractures after stroke. It’s comprised of a slow, gentle stretch of the affected muscle(s) holding for about 30 seconds to 1 minute at the end of your range of movement. This works WITH your spasticity because you give your spastic muscles the time to relax. Forcing a stretch works AGAINST your spasticity because you are aggressively (and most likely quickly) trying to get your muscle to relax and do what you want it to do. This will make spasticity worse. So focus on a daily prolonged stretching routine for spasticity to help give those muscles a little bit of relief and keep your tendons/muscles long to prevent contractures! ❤️ Join this channel to get access to perks and support Post Stroke:    / @poststrokeorg   🤝 Ways You Can Support Post Stroke 501(c)(3) nonprofit: 1) Patreon:   / poststroke   2) Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted... 3) Mail a Donation: Post Stroke 6301 Hwy 58, Unit 3 Harrison, TN 37341 4) Become a Corporate Sponsor: email me at [email protected] 👀 Follow Post Stroke: Instagram:   / poststrokeorg   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/z@poststrokeorg Twitter:   / poststrokeorg   ---------------------------------------------------------------- Medical Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for general informational purposes only.
