Which flexibility assessment tool might StretchLab use?

The choice of using range of motion tests as a flexibility assessment tool is justified due to their direct measurement of how far a joint can move in various directions. These assessments focus on the flexibility of specific muscles and joints, which is essential for determining how much stretching or flexibility work may benefit an individual. Range of motion tests can help identify stiff areas and assess improvements over time, making them particularly useful for tailored stretching programs, such as those designed at StretchLab.

This tool provides valuable insights into an individual’s flexibility status and allows trainers to develop targeted stretching protocols based on objective data. It is crucial for ensuring safe and effective stretching sessions, as understanding a client's range of motion can help prevent injuries and enhance overall performance.
