These stretches are all designed to work with muscle chains - to produce global flexibilty and more strength & stability.

They can be combined in different orders to produce the best effect. Warming up one group of muscles might facilitate a better quality stretch for another part of the body - depending on how these muscle groups function in a particular individual.

Each person uses their body in a unique way that developes from childhood.

Injuries and postural adaptations produce habits and compensations which make function more complex and to the untrained eye it becomes harder to decipher what is the cause and what is the effect
- in a presenting patient suffering from pain in their musculo-skeletal system.

This is so often the reason that treatment for syptoms alone is rarely helpful.
