Choose a position that lets you get an end-range stretch of the targeted tissues. Start by oscillating in and out of end range for 30-60 seconds. These are small back and forth motions to extend the neural tone and resistance of the tissues being stretched to achieve a more extended end range.
Without taking the stretch off after the oscillation period has ended, you'll hold an end-range static stretch for 60-120 seconds.
