My hips are finally opening up!

I have been stretching during my daily screen time. It did not feel like I was making any significant progress BUT my hips have opened up enough that my partner doesn't have to help me move about anymore during bedroom adventures.

It's such a satisfying victory since my hips have been a source of debilitating pain for about a year. I had no idea flexibility was so important; I always felt like it was more aesthetic.

I'm nowhere near my days of dancing ballet in high school but eliminating pain is thrilling.

Keep pushing!

Does your muscle tear a bit and then gets rebuild to be slightly longer?

Does your brain learn not to send you pain signals and lets the muscles fully relax?

Both?

That "stretching is really training your brain to let go" is often mentioned but never really explained. Why doesn't brain let you do the pike? What is it exactly worried about? Is it a "bug" in our software that needs fixing or is the pike actually potentially dangerous for your body? What's the danger exactly? If it is dangerous, how does doing stretching exercises over a period of time make it less dangerous? Isn't exercising just trying to touch your knees with your forehead repeatedly until your brain slowly "gives up"?
