Debate on this subject continues to a topic of ongoing discussions among health and fitness professionals, often polarizing their applications of flexibility training. Through your reading/experience/research, you've been exposed to a continuum of flexibility and stretching techniques. e.g (static streecing, SMR neuromuscular stretching)etc. Each technique performs differently and has a specific desired outcome (e.g. neural inhibition, increasing length, improving co-activation, and integrating dynamic movement patterns). So, should you stretch? From your experience, what side of the fence do you fall on?

What's your position about clients that experience muscle pain even though they are not flexible? Do you think they should perform stretching techniques, if so which techniques are better for them?
