However, these stretches are two different things. In static stretching, you are brought to the farthest point of your stretch and holding it in place.
On the other hand, passive stretching is a more relaxed form of stretching because you do not have to control the range of motion because it is created by an outside force either mechanically or manually.

Isometric stretching is a kind of static stretching that does not require movement. You just have to tense the stretched out muscles.
This can be used to increase the static-passive flexibility and is more effective active or passive stretching alone. It can also enhance strength on tensed muscles that can help decrease pain due to stretching.
An example this is when you push up on a wall. Asking someone to hold your leg up for you while you force your leg down is also an example of isometric stretching.
This kind of stretch is not apt for growing children and adolescents because they are flexible
enough that these strong stretches could just increase the risk of muscle injuries.
