The Integrated Flexibility Continuum

NASM-CPT, Rick Richey, explains the “Integrated Flexibility Continuum” in this podcast. He breaks down the three parts of the IFC by touching on:

  1. Corrective Flexibility - Meant to address muscle imbalances, as well as postural and joint dysfunctions through static stretching and Self-Myofascial Release.
  2. Active Flexibility - Designed to improve tissue function and extensibility.
  3. Functional Flexibility -This is meant to improve range of motion.
