It is Know that fot a program of increased flexibility, with the passage of days at the level of disconfort decreases in maintaining the same ROM as well as amout of the force applied to stretch decreases. Therefore, is there any protocol that controls the pain threshold and force applied to the muscle submitted to stretching?

Dear Flavio, a little known Japanese Therapy called Sotai moves the affected body part in the direction of ease, away from the pain, on the controlled exhale, and slight resistance, and holds the end point for 3 seconds. This is repeated for a total of 3 to 5 times, twice a day
. For instance if the neck is tight turning to the right, by slowly turning to the opposite direction, to the left, while controlling the movement with left hand, and holding the end point for 3 seconds then exhaling, the opposite side relaxes, allowing fuller range of motion, with less pain. This technique works for any joint (or in the case of the spine, series of joints.
