Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretches of the muscle groups to be exercised during PT should be
performed following a warm-up. Dynamic stretches should not be jerky movements. In
fact, any slow, controlled movement that simulates the activity to be performed, executed
for approximately 2 seconds, is sufficient. Some suggested dynamic exercises are provided
in Table 7-1.Warm-Up
