Episode #52: Pandiculation vs Stretching

Have you ever seen a horse stretch its neck waaaay up during a bodywork session? Well, then you’ve witnessed a pandiculation!

Pandiculation is very different from passive stretching.

Join me for this episode of the podcast where I examine the scientific differences between these two types of stretches. I examine what is happening in the body in each situation, and why it is extremely important to know the difference between the two!

Hint: The body processes the sensory information completely differently!
