Kinetic stretching is basically dynamic stretching on steroids. Rather than oscillate in and out of end range using body momentum and light muscle activity, kinetic stretching involves actively pulling your body into a stretch and pushing your way out of it using the muscles on either side of the joint.

Stretch therapy encompasses a wide range of techniques, massage, myofascial release, and active range of motion movements, in addition to traditional passive stretches. Stretch therapy is the scientific application of these techniques to treat certain physical problems associated with tight muscles and restricted joints.
