Lat Inhibition to Improve Overhead Mobility

Stretching a muscle with high tone works, AFTER the muscle fatigues or you stretch long enough to change the perception of stretch. That's not normally a rapid process as the more the nervous system perceives stretch, muscles tend to increase in tone to fight the passive stretch.


Inhibiting a muscle by passively slacking it rapidly reduces tone, so you can start dynamically moving into the restricted range of motion and then start loading once the pattern is reinforced.
