Hyperbolic Stretching Review : Does This Workout Program Really Effective?
Hyperbolic stretching is the name of a stretching program designed by Alex Larsson, who markets himself as a "flexibility and core strength expert" but his credentials can't actually be found online.
His program combines several methods of stretching, including a form of PNF stretching. With this type of stretching, you use your reflexes to help you get a deeper stretch to improve flexibility. He also includes dynamic stretches (also called active stretches) and some static stretching as well.
According to the website, the program relies on "three principles" to help improve flexibility. The first is called "inverse survival reflex" — which is really the PNF concept of "hold-relax." With this concept, you put the muscle in a stretched position, and contract the muscle without moving (isometrically), which then triggers a reflex that allows you to move deeper into the stretch.
