The ballistic method of developing flexibility is not the safest form of stretching.
Explanation;
-Ballistic stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. It involves stretching by bouncing into (or out of) a stretched position, using the stretched muscles as a spring which pulls you out of the stretched position. An example is the ballistic method of touching your toes would be to bounce and move toward your feet.
