So, you don't need to be highly trained in order to perform them. In fact, there is a place and we will describe when one would want to apply dynamic or ballistic stretching. I'll just give away for now, I think that most physios out there and certainly the ones that I spoke to, Dr. Andy Galpin, Dr. Kelly Starrett, and a few others point to the fact that doing some safe dynamic and ballistic stretching prior to, say, a resistance training session, or maybe even prior to a cardiovascular training session can be useful both in terms of range of motion effects and in terms of neural activation effects.
