Tissue Extensibility
Tissue extensibility is a new term I just learned from a video. It means, "The ability to be stretched or extended." Muscles must be soft and pliable to stretch properly, so when I do myofascial release with the Thera Cane, that is my goal. I'm trying to soften up the muscles, and break up the fibers, so they have the ability to stretch without pain.
According to the video I watched, myofascial release should come before joint mobility, so I guess I'm doing things a little bit backwards, but I'm getting results. So who cares? There's more than one way to skin a cat. The end result is all that matters.
