Passive flexibility is when your muscles are placed into a position by some outside force, usually another body part. For example, bringing your leg up high and then holding it there with your hand.

Passive stretching is a type of stretching in which you stay in one position for a set time. You’re able to relax your body while a partner, accessory, or prop intensifies the stretch by putting external pressure on your body. You can also use the floor or a wall.

During static stretching, you move your body as deep as it will go into the stretch. Once you’ve reached your limit or place of tension, you hold this position for up to 1 minute. Doing this allows your body to relax into the posture.

Stretching is an important part of being active. Its benefits enhance muscle function, allowing you to move with greater ease and comfort throughout your daily and athletic activities.

Regular stretching reduces your chance of injury, enhances flexibility, and increases range of motion. Your body will feel better when it has less of the muscle tension, soreness, and tightness that often accompany exercise.

Benefits of passive stretching
Passive stretching can improve flexibility, range of motion, and mobility. It helps improve your performance while lowering your risk of injury. Its benefits extend to people who may not be able to stretch on their own.

Passive stretching may also stimulate muscle growth and prevent muscle weakness. A 2013 study in animals showed that passive stretching for a short period each day can help build muscle.

While further research is necessary to confirm the long-term effects, these findings suggest that passive stretching could be beneficial for people who are unconscious or have paralysis.

An animal study from 2018 found that daily stretching improved blood flow to the muscles, which may improve their function. Muscle stretching that uses a splint could be especially useful for people who are elderly or unable to exercise independently. However, there is a need for in-depth human studies to expand on these findings.
