       There is a difference between human ligaments before and after the age of 16. After 16, bone development is largely finalized, so the ligaments also become set. Therefore, it is recommended that younger individuals use the vibration method, which involves using vibrating movements to “stretch” the ligaments, yielding very noticeable results. However, for those with relatively mature bones, this method can only produce short-term effects and carries a high risk of injury. For individuals over 16, it is recommended to use the static pressure method—maintaining an “extreme” posture for 30 seconds, then resting for a few seconds, and then holding the posture again. It is generally advised not to exceed 30 seconds in the “extreme” stretching posture, as doing so may cause injury to the opposing muscle group. This static pressure method helps maintain stable ligament flexibility over a relatively long period.

      Below are two less common but highly effective ligament training methods
1. Stand with your feet on a straight line, left foot forward and right foot back, with the toes of the right foot touching the heel of the left foot. Keep your body upright, then rotate the right foot counterclockwise around the contact point between the toe and heel as the center. Then rotate the left foot counterclockwise around the same center. Alternate the rotation of both feet in this manner, performing 8 repetitions per set, for 2 to 3 sets.
2. Stand with your left foot extended forward, heel touching the ground and toes curled up. Clasp your hands behind your head, bend your right knee, then bend your body forward at the waist, lift up, and bend down again. Try to press your body straight down onto your leg as much as possible. After completing the movement with the left foot, switch to the right foot.
This exercise is for ligament stretching and can also be performed with one foot placed on a low stool or bed. At first, your ligaments may feel very tight—that’s okay. With regular practice, you will see significant improvement.       

Introduce some useful tips

       Ligaments naturally stretch more easily in a warm environment, so it is important to warm up before ligament training to avoid injury. Applying heat with hot water to areas that feel painful during stretching can help reduce discomfort. Soaking your entire body in hot water while performing ligament stretching exercises can effectively prevent ligament injuries.
