Emerging Strategies in Flexibility Training: An Evidence-Based Update

Course Description

Over the past several years, research on flexibility training has revealed new insights for healthcare professionals. Researchers have provided updated evidence on the efficacy of popular flexibility techniques such as self-myofascial rolling, static stretching, and dynamic stretching.
