As physical therapists we are frequently asked about stretching exercises. Static stretching exercises are those stretches that you are told to hold for so many seconds and do so many times a day. When you think of stretching it is usually this type of stretching that immediately comes to mind.
To perform this type of stretching exercise one must elongate the muscles as tolerated and that position is then held for a particular length of time. The time a stretch is held is determined by your age pre existing conditions activity level and any injuries.
So static stretching is different than dynamic stretching.
