i could imagine this modality would be contraindicated to strength?

Essentially you move into as deep of stretch as possible under voluntary control, continue to contract the antagonsit of the muscle you are stretching, then assist the strecth deeper for 1-2 seconds before your body can shut the muscle down in fear of tearing then repeat.For example:
With a hamstring strecth, (solo you'd be using a rope/stretch-rite/towel, partnered stretching can be used as well) you'd start in a supine position on the floor. Next you'd actively raise your leg as high/as far back as possible. Then, while still contracting the quad complex, you'd tug the rope to pull your foot back and intensify the stretch. Hold for 1-2 seconds and repeat. As far as repetions go, I've certaily mixed it up, but have found the range of 6-10 to be about as good as you'll get for that day.A good rule of thumb at the last part where you are pulling the rope/partner is pushing the stretch deeper, the pull/push should not add any more than an additional 10% to the ROM that you can achieve actively.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. Can you rephrase that?
