[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 1681006, member: 53239"] "Stretch receptors have two parts: Spindle cells and Golgi tendons. Spindle cells, located in the center of a muscle, send messages for the muscle to contract. On the other hand, Golgi tendon receptors are located near the end of a muscle fiber and send messages for the muscle to relax.[B] As these receptors are trained through continual use, stretching becomes easier. [/B]When reflexes that inhibit flexibility are released the splits then become easier to perform. The splits use the body's complete range of motion and provide a complete stretch." I bolded this part above because it's the only fact comparable to what your blog mentions. Through constant repetitive stretching and exercise over a long period of time stretching becomes easier. "That stiffness you feel when you stretch is all in your head and totally created by you." is wrong. Your muscles length and elasticity can change over time with training but to say something like "it's all in your head" as if you can snap your fingers and suddenly become as flexible as when born is stupid.
