Resistance Stretching Questions
What is Resistance Stretching?
Resistance stretching is a stretch that provides both strength and flexibility to the person who is doing it. No equipment is necessary. For a basic Resistance Stretch, all you need is you!
How does Resistance Stretching work?
During a Resistance Stretch, the muscle group being stretched is contracting (shortening) while it’s being compelled to lengthen. This is known as an eccentric contraction. It is different from the traditional way of stretching because in a traditional stretch there is no contraction to the muscle group being stretched. It is the muscular contraction plus the simultaneous muscular lengthening that creates the strength and flexibility that are unique to Resistance Stretching.
How does Resistance Stretching contribute to Pain Gone Now?
Resistance Stretching is a set of techniques that you can do by yourself, at home, at work, or almost anywhere….no equipment necessary. These stretches are highly adaptable to your personal goals and they are useful for both pain relief and general fitness.
Where does the resistance in a Resistance Stretch come from?
The resistance comes from you (if it’s an individual stretch) or your trainer (if it’s an assisted stretch).
Resistance Stretching can be done on your own or with a Resistance Stretching trainer. The stretches you do on your own are called self stretches and can be a very good workout all by themselves. If you choose to work with a Resistance Stretching trainer using the assisted stretches, you’ll find that the intensity and benefits of your workouts increase greatly.
Rossiter Workout Questions
What is a Rossiter Workout?
The Rossiter Workout is a series of power stretches. These stretches are done with a partner and can quickly relieve aches and pains from any muscle or joint in the body.
How does a Rossiter Workout relieve pain?
Rossiter Workouts relieve pain by loosening the body's connective tissue – fascia and muscles. Fascia is the membranous tissue that surrounds every muscle fiber, bundle of muscle fibers, and bundle of muscle fiber bundles in the body. In fact, if all of our skin was gone, nothing would fall apart because the fascia holds it together. Many people believe that it’s just tight muscles that are causing their pain...what they don't know is that the fascia is extremely important when long-term pain relief is the goal.
Think of fascia as the body's saran wrap. When saran wrap comes off the roll, it is nice, smooth, flat, and easy to use. With just a little bit of movement though, saran wrap starts to stick to itself and anything else it touches…eventually it is all crinkled up. This is what happens to the fascia in our body…over time, it gets crinkled up and stuck. The crinkling and sticking of fascia causes pain. Rossiter Workouts pull out the crinkles in the fascia. When fascia is smooth, muscles, nerves and blood vessels all have more space to move and function. More space equals less pain.
How does a Rossiter Workout contribute to Pain Gone Now?
The Rossiter Workout techniques quickly relieve pain so that you immediately feel better. A Rossiter Workout stretch typically relieves aches and pains faster than medication. Once you’ve experienced relief from your aches and pains, you’re more likely to choose activities, such as Resistance Stretching, to enhance and further your wellness experience.
Will a Rossiter Workout hurt?
Yes, a Rossiter workout stretch does hurt for the 10 seconds that it lasts. It’s no worse than going to the gym and ‘feeling the burn.’ You control the amount of ‘burn’ and you can stop it at any time. You get your results (pain relief and increased flexibility) by being willing to move through ‘the burn’.
Stepping on people sounds weird, why does a Rossiter Workout have to use a foot and not a hand?
A Rossiter Coach uses their foot for two reasons. The first reason is because of efficiency. For enough weight to be added to create a pain-relieving stretch, a foot (with the body behind it) is simply the easiest way to get the job done. The second reason is to keep your Rossiter Coach healthy and pain-free. A Rossiter Coach who uses their hands or elbows to add weight for a stretch will be more likely to hurt their own body because hands and elbows are not designed to apply the amount of weight needed for a Rossiter stretch.
Health Condition Questions
I’m already seeing a chiropractor for my pain, how does Pain Gone Now compare to a chiropractic adjustment?

It is your connective tissue that helps keep your vertebrae in alignment. If you connective tissue is well stretched, your spine will more easily stay aligned.
If I’m taking pain medication, can Pain Gone Now help me?

I have a pinched nerve, how does Pain Gone Now relieve pinched nerve pain?
In simple terms, a nerve that is being pinched is being squished. No matter what that nerve appears to be squished by (muscles, bones, tendons, or ligaments, a squished nerve always complains. When a nerve complains, you feel pain. Rossiter Workouts and Resistance Stretches very efficiently stretch and strengthen the connective tissue in the area of the complaining nerve. When the tissue is stretched, space is created, and when the tissue is strengthened, the space is maintained….resulting in the nerve becoming unsquished. Unsquished nerves stop complaining and your pain goes away.
