How does a slow stretch of a muscle neurologically and/or chemically inhibit pain?

Can you explain the neurological events that cause pain inhibition when a skeletal muscle is slowly stretched? In other words, what occurs in the muscle when it is slow stretched, and what neurological and chemical responses occur that inhibit nociception and ultimately reduce pain?

It can release endorphins, which are natural pain inhibitors.
