Increased muscle flexibility reduces the risk of athletic injury. The more pliable a muscle becomes, the less likely you are to tear that muscle. With a proper ProStretch flexibility program, muscles and tendons actually begin to lengthen. In many sports, longer (Gastroc/Soleus) calf muscles improve the ability to increase stride length, and longer stride lengths translate into increased performance. Improved muscle flexibility also reduces the risk of back pain, muscle pulls, cramping and overuse injuries such as Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis.
