I found another useful tip in one of my older Pointe magazines. Massaging the muscles with a foam roller before stretching is beneficial by providing a deeper, more satisfying stretch. I have one that I rarely use, but now I'm thinking I've found a good job for it.
The tissues that surround the muscles, called fascia, are loosened when the body is moved back and forth over the roller. I'll have to see if it makes a difference when I stretch tonight.
