Massage Therapy Glossary
Reciprocal Inhibition Stretching (RI)
This technique refers to a reflex loop that causes one muscle to relax when the opposing muscle contracts. It works to stretch the targeted muscle by first contracting the opposing muscle, thus inhibiting the target muscle reflexly, enabling the target muscle to stretch farther.
