Why can having pain while stretching be detrimental to the client? | Causing pain to the client is the quickest way to potentially destroy the most important component of trust. It is often very difficult to regain it. Causing pain also has the potential of injuring the client. Causing pain may shift a relaxing stretching experience to a tension-filled session. The last thing desired is to illicit the fight-or-flight response by creating a swift transition from the parasympathetic nervous system to the sympathetic nervous system. |
