Athlete brings the joint into stretch, the AT then passively pushes the joint into further stretching. Once stretch is felt the athlete pushes against the AT using the antagonist muscle for 10 seconds. After the patient will relax the muscles then contract the agonist muscle bringing it to stretch which then will be pushed further into stretch by AT. Relaxing phase lasts about 10 seconds then right back into push. This should be repeated at least 3 times HS: AT passively flexes hip until slight discomfort. At this point, pt begins pushing against AT by contracting hamstring. After actively pushing for 10 seconds, relax hamstring which quad actively contract to bring back to stretch position then the AT will further stretch until discomfort. Then repeat.
