| Posted: 24 Feb 2021 01:48 AM PST Just got my middle split early last month. I usually do stretch/yoga about 3 hours n half twice or sometimes thrice per week. It's a full body stretch from every part of body including my feet. I didn't try it but how long that my warmed body after a session could last long? I mean my body must feel loose/ease after a session, so can do split again like after 3 hours, but how long someone body's warmed validity could last long? I can do my front split anytime but must do little stretches to ease the split. I have that front split long ago in the middle of last year. But I don't know about my middle split's warmed validity, is it the same with the other split or is it too much for me? [link] [comments] | ||
| Is it normal to feel sore after stretching? Posted: 23 Feb 2021 05:14 PM PST Hi there! So I've been stretching everyday for about two weeks so I can get my splits but today when I was about to do my stretches I noticed that I felt a little sore and my hamstrings are a little tight is this normal or should I take a day off?

| After hip surgery, still feel pain Posted: 23 Feb 2021 08:54 AM PST I had hip surgery roughly two years ago. I tore my labrum and instead of replacing the hip, they performed a surgery to where they drilled into my hip to promote new growth. Upon completion of the surgery, when I went through physical therapy, I came back to get an X-Ray and they found that it wasn't working out so well. They told me I will continue to have arthritis in my hip. I am a weight lifter and squat, deadlift, etc. I really never used to stretch. I have begun to stretch daily. Doing hip flexor stretches, quad stretches, hamstring, etc. I used to not even be able to come close to touching my toes, and I have advanced in a short amount of time. My question is, have any of you found success from extra stretching to start easing the pain? It is sad to me that every time I exercise now, I have bad pain. I am really focusing on engaging my core as best I can in these exercises. Any other recommendations would be great! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Feb 2021 10:09 AM PST Hi. I am wondering if anyone might be able to relate to the experience of very strong release of fascia through stretching. I am trying to make sense of what has been for me a revelatory, unsettling, relief providing, and creative process, which is still in progress. In the course of this process covering some six or seven years I have come to understand my body completely differently. For one, I rediscovered the existence of one. A regular yoga practice focused on strength, stability, and mobility has been very important in this regard and ultimately the engine, in my experience, of transformation. If so, the role of cannabis has been akin to an oil. The effect of cannabis on my body is instantaneous (smoked leaf) and subtle, as small muscles or joint areas appears suddenly for my conscious appreciation and, over time, movement. My pelvis, rib cage, and spine have developed relationships that I did not even appreciate as missing. Breath is coming back to my lungs, particularly the left side which now seems to have been flattened or choked, likewise my esophagus. Sometimes my voice sounds different in tone and timber. My present unabashed view is that all the above has been majorly important to my health. My sense of good fortune is real, in contrast to my past habitual ideations (also relevant for me: traumatic childhood / PTSD, injury (chronic, acute, overuse), stress, depression, anxiety). Along with the physical effect of cannabis is the inseparable one on the mind. Mine becomes very mobile, creative in relation to physical movement, and highly associative. Sometimes these factors combine and I am visiting with a memory I perhaps never recalled, deep in forward bend, and considering the cantilever of my foot which I subtly adjust. This comes with great emotional release. The mind can also tip into hyper drive - which I only knew in retrospect when the first signals of relief started to register. In fact, it seems like a lot of my life has been in a hyper state now. The intense physical release sometimes creates a feeling of a phantom force in my body which travels from opposite sides and sometimes creates exaggerated errors of proprioception, as if my limb is projected somewhere distant from its actual location, or confusion of right and left sides. Chest opening swivels and neck un-twisting with cracking and popping noises have caused me mild fright. My life has been shaped many ways by an early learned practice of disassociation, whose relationship to the above dynamics is sometime which causes me worry. I am scared that I am replicating some former practice in the service of my body. Sometimes this seems tinged with shame or regret about being me. I started this post (my first ever) talking about my physical body and ended somewhere else. I should not be surprised, but somehow the thinking in which body and mind are linked eludes me, or so my ready assumptions constantly betray. Also among my assumptions is that the above said is notable from any standpoint, other than the fact that I am lucky to find that yoga, stretching, and cannabis can be beneficial. At the same time, I have felt the echoes of the following injuries in the course of my stretching process: intense growing pains and plantar pain in particular in adolescence (I am tall, 6'5"); viral infection of some kind of meningitis (age 15 or 16); hit by lighting (age 17; untreated); lots of sports in youth and adolescence; ankle sprain in mid 20s, untreated; marathon running (mid 30s, early 40s). Also, proximate exposure of acts of violence. I am 46 years old. Sometime I wonder if I have something to share with interested individuals or teacher/ practicioners, at least in terms of validating an idea or intended treatment experience (?). Hopefully the impression I am making is not grandiosity in this regard, just gratitude and interest. If anyone can relate or offer references, particularly as concerns experiences of intense fascial release - either self accounts, scientific description, psychological aspects, additional effects, etc -- I would be grateful. Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] | ||

| Any advice on tight calve muscles? Posted: 22 Feb 2021 07:17 PM PST So, here's my issue. My calves are EXTREMELY tight. Almost always have been, I'm 23 male, and because of this I walk on my toes and when im laying on my back, my toes point almost completely straight. Anyone know what I should do?

| Just stretched for the first time in ages Posted: 22 Feb 2021 04:03 PM PST Hi there I'm a newbie with stretching. I am 19M and already had 3 hip surgeries. I think it is because I did so much sports with so much stiffness and tightness that it probably moved my joints out of alignment and caused joint issues. I played rugby for a long time and never payed attention to stretching and mobility. I don't want a new hip at 20 years old so I decided to get back to full range of motion. The beginning is quite tough as my psoas muscle feels like stretching a steel cable. But it already feels good. Anyways, day 1 completed. I really want this to become a habit and look forward to being part of this community. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 08:01 PM PST Will using a split stretcher improve the middle splits better rather than just holding as far as you can for a period of time? [link] [comments] | ||
| Neural flossing not working. chronic pain Posted: 22 Feb 2021 12:17 PM PST I will see this brief. I recently learned that my tight hamstrings are due to my sciatic nerve. I am 100% sure of this. I could be the poster child of this. I am an 18 year old athlete with many D1 offers. I have stretched everyday since I was young but have never been able to touch my toes. I learned about neural flossing and have been doing it for about two weeks, but I haven't had any results and sometimes it triggers sciatic pain in my butt and lower back. I am blessed to have access to amazing facilities and have a massage gun, so I can do any form of PT to fix this. Any other options than neural flossing? Only my sciatic nerve is tight. All of my sciatic nerve is tight. I have the tingly shooting stretching nerve pain in my back when I look down, in my hamstrings when flex my feet. I have also gotten foot cramps multiple times a week my whole life and I am assuming its also from this tight sciatic nerve. I am 6'3 and have longs legs that I cannot truly straighten out when I run because I am so tight. I also took a year of yoga everyday and I admit it did help a little but when I took a week off it immediately went back to what it was. The improvement was so minuscule it was not worth it. I break into sweats and almost cry from trying to stretch All my doctors are stumped and tell me to keep on doing neural flossing but I am convinced that it is making it worse. Reddit is my final chance at this. I may quit my collegiate sport team if I cannot figure this out. It is chronic and idk what else to do. Please do not remove this post. If you have "medical advice" I am open to personal messages. Thank you [link] [comments] | ||
| Anyone have any experience with night splints? Posted: 22 Feb 2021 06:54 PM PST Hello everyone, I am curious to know if anyone has used night splints. They are braces that put your ankle into slight dorsiflexion. They are generally used for plantar fasciitis, but I was wondering if I could just use them to help out my ankle dorsiflexion. Anyone have any experience with them? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 06:03 PM PST Is the middle splits all flexibility or is there a technique too? Also is there a way to get to the splits faster? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 06:24 AM PST What is the part that we stretch in back bending? for example, when we do forward fold, we stretch our hamstring by lengthening it. So, when we back bending, do we stretch our abdominal muscles in that asana? Because I always heard back flexibility here and there, so I thought it's weird, when in back bend, it's our front body that has lengthened. Any easy explanation for me? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Feb 2021 11:36 AM PST Any tips/stretches to be able to put my legs behind my head. I am already pretty flexible and tried a few YouTube tutorials already but can't quite do so. [link] [comments] |
