| Hunchback when touching toes is this a hamstring or spine problem? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:13 PM PDT Last week I was finally able to touch my toes after a lifetime of hamstring tightness. Whenever I touch them I notice I have a hunchback when bent over. I look like a camel with one big hump lol. How can I achieve touching my toes with a straight back? [link] [comments] | ||

| Ankle Dorsiflexion - How to stay mobilized longer after chronic ankle impigement pain? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:33 PM PDT I use to be pain free until an injury set me sidelined for a few years, I FINALLY found improvement. I no longer feel like theres tons of pain walking. I improve my hips/flexibility and balance through Yoga and more. Now the main reason for the pain as was before is, the talus seems to be less mobilized. No matter what I do, it gets tight, start feeling impinged, and I would have to mobilize it with a band. I don't think this is my calf muscles as I stretch them and it doesn't help much. Banded mobilization or self mobilizing techniques makes it feel way better. My question is what do I need to do to stop having a tightening on itself? Is it something I just have to live with? I guess there may be scar tissue there? [link] [comments] | ||
| Foot mobility and cramps - is it a good thing? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 09:29 AM PDT I've been doing plenty of foot mobility exercises recently after getting injured, and I've been successful so far. Many of the mobility videos I watch say that if your foot starts cramping up, it means you're doing it right. Given that, could I be strengthening my foot just by giving the arch on my foot a cramp on purpose (by bending my big toe down?) [link] [comments] | ||
| What does passive stretching know that active stretching and exercising from stretch do not? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 01:15 PM PDT I am grateful for every answer that can support it's statement, but I'm especially curious about the opinion of professionals (physiotherapists, personal trainers, doctors etc.). To avoid misunderstandings: Passive stretching: the stretched muscle and it's antagonist muscle DO NOT CONTRACT, an outside force makes the stretch possible.
Active stretching: the antagonist muscle CONTRACTS making the protagonist muscle stretched. I could mention exercising in general because in order to make a muscle contract the antagonist has to relax. But this not always makes enough stretch on the muscle.
This exercising from stretch thingy (don't know the proper name): you go into a position where the muscle stretches and from that you make a rep in order to use a bigger range of motion. So you use the full healthy range of motion of the muscle. Sometimes it's a full range of motion (a*s-to-grass squats), but it can go beyond a conventional range of motion (push ups but you go deeper).
So, my main question is: Why is passive stretching important when we can do the other two "stretches"?I ask this because as far as I know, passive stretching is important because of three factors: - flexibility - to pull apart the muscles so it will some kind of longer (however, the muscle won't be longer just more elastic maybe?) - later on, we can use it to improve our mobility So my knowledge can be wrong. As far as I know, flexibility (your body does not freak out when you go into that stretch) and mobility (you can move freely in that range of motion) are two different terms. I get that when you do active stretching, in order to stretch the other muscle you have to contract one of them, but is it that big of a contraction that you need to stretch it too? So if I do a full bridge and after that a leg raise, do I have to stretch the hip flexors and abs again? As you can see, I'm not a professional, so my knowledge is possibly bad or anything. However, if you can correct me, I am just happy to improve my knowledge :) And last but not least, sorry for my english, not my native language. I do not own the images that I linked, I just searched them. Also, maybe I will ask the question in other subreddits too just to gain more sources of the information, not because I don't get proper answers. [link] [comments] |
