I have always done the dislocates with a stick, but I guess I should purchase a bungee cord or something of the sort. Would a bungee cord be a safe alternative to the band?
Should dislocates with the stick have always felt awkward for me as well, especially on the coming back part. I don't really understand Siff's pulley stretch, especially the second one, but I have come to believe that stretching without strengthening the muscles in the elongated positions is not optimal for either flexibility or injury prevention.
