Objective: To investigate the effects between stretching and thermotherapeutics resources on gaining flexibility and range of motion. Methods: This controlled, non-randomized, blinded clinical trial lasted three weeks, with two weekly sessions and included 27 female individuals, who made up both the experimental and the control group, so one of their legs received therapeutic intervention from chemotherapeutic resources and the opposite one was submitted to stretching only. Angular analysis was performed using the Kinovera postural assessment software. Results: The effects of stretching associated with pre-intervention heat and post-intervention cooling were more effective compared to the pre-intervention control group (p<0.000), post-intervention control group (p= 0.003) and pre-intervention experimental group (p<0.000). Conclusion: The application of heat prior to stretching followed by immediate cooling provides gains in muscle flexibility and range of motion greater than simple stretching.
