What is the difference between directed stretching and general stretching?

Directed stretching is specifically designed to isolate and loosen the offending muscle spasms and adhesions, and to achieve the same benefits for the muscles that directed ranges of motion (movements designed to gently restore joint and disc function) do for the joints. The procedures are similar in that only slow, steady, and gradual advances are recommended. However, the greater elasticity of muscles compared to joints requires increased stretching, which may be a little uncomfortable in the beginning.

In fact, you'll know you've focused on the right muscle bundle when the slow and steady stretch produces a localized pain similar to the pain you feel during deep massage. Unlike general stretching techniques that achieve only general results, directed stretching must be site specific to be effective. And, because every person is different, every person's stretching techniques will also be different.

It is impossible for a broad range of general stretches to have the same beneficial effect for everyone. However, if you learn how to modify some basic stretches, they become specific to you, and your chances at a better outcome are greatly increased.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
