GENERAL GUIDELINES

- When performing a stretch, move the designated body part to a position of mild stretch.
- If possible, increase your stretch to a position of mild discomfort but NOT pain.
- Maintain a normal, relaxed breathing pattern throughout the stretch. Do not hold your breath.
- If you feel unbalanced while doing a standing stretch, brace yourself with one hand, using a firm support such as a counter top, wall, or heavy piece of furniture.
