The idea that flexibility is limited by the nervous system is supported by research showing increases in flexibility from stretching are likely caused by increased stretch tolerance, rather than increased length of the muscle.
Stretching to increase your range of motion is simple in theory, but it is not easy in practice. It requires concentration, patience and strength. Additionally, not every stretch is appropriate for every individual.
