    Shoulders/Upper back help...

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    In recent years my upper back/neck have become super stiff and my shoulder mobility has cratered. Just holding a phone between my shoulder and ear is uncomfortable.

    I realize these are somewhat related issues. It feels like all the muscles in the area have just shriveled.

    What are some good range of motion/stretching exercises I can do for this specific issue?

    Looking for advice on avoiding injury, and getting equal flexibility on both sides.

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 02:03 PM PDT

    For nearly a year now I've been working on improving my mental and physical health, but trying to do exercises and stretches at home without any oversight has got me into positions where I was hurting myself.

    Last March I sprained my left ankle pretty badly, and I never got any PT for it. So when I tried to start going on walks and jogging, it was doing me no favors. But when I put in the time to do my research, and start doing some PT on my own, I ended up hurting my rotator cuff due to poor push up form. That's more PT for me.

    When I started to train my flexibility, I hurt myself here as well. I don't even know what I did though. I was doing a seated hamstring stretch (I don't know the name), I flexed my quad and felt a 'release'. It didn't hurt at all in the moment, but it made that leg far tighter even after a two week break.

    This is all in the past though, and while I would appreciate if someone could tell me what happened to my hamstring I want to get out ahead of any potential problems in the future.

    Even though it's been months later, and there still isn't any pain, my right hamstring is still less flexible than my left one. I've been dealing with it because it's pretty minor, but today I attempted an old shoulder stretch that I remember not being able to do in High School. I don't know the name, but I can try describe it.

    The goal is to have your hands meet in between your shoulder blades, one arm coming down and the other going up. When I did this today, I could only achieve it when my left arm was coming up. Does this mean that my left shoulder is more flexible because of the rotator cuff injury, or is it that it's too stiff when going down?

    So with my shoulder and my hamstring, is there anything I can do? Or will I always be weak in those ways?

    Moving on to avoiding injuries.

    I have seemingly stalled out with my progress on my pancake. Google says that it's supposed to stretch the hips, and that's where I feel it but I'll admit to being afraid of hurting myself while in a pancake. Do my legs need to be spread further before progressing?

    One more piece of concern.

    I've been fiddling with my exercise schedule over time, and I've been trying to incorporate Tom Merrick's guides into my routine. In his second video at 6:20, he does a stretch that he says is like the pigeon pose. I was just testing it out, but he said that I should feel it in my glutes by I was feeling it in my hip.

    Is that normal? Are there other stretches that I should be doing? Just really, I'll take any advice that I can.

    Tight Hips

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 06:53 AM PDT

    Hello! Over the past six months I have been practicing opening up my hips. The two main poses I do are frog and straddle pancake. I am seeing progress, but the problem is that it takes time to get down to my max. For example: in frog I am about 3in away from getting flat on the ground, but when I first get into the stretch, I can barely open my hips (probably 8in above being flat) and it takes at least 8mins to get down to my max. How can I fix this? How can I get to where I don't need yo wait 8mins to get as low as I can go?

    Shoulder Joint Hypermobility and Tight Lats

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 11:20 AM PDT

    Hey guys, I have an issue where I have very tight lats but I'm unable to properly stretch them due to overly mobile shoulder joints. It's making stretching my lats impossible since no matter how I try to stretch them my shoulder is the thing stretching. For example when people stretch their arm behind their head where you try to take your elbow and pull it behind your head, my arm keeps going until my elbow is on the other side of my head and almost parallel to the ground.

    I have been to a PT and Chiro, and they were able to stretch my lat by pinning it and then raising my arm, but that's only helpful if I keep going and unfortunately I'm not made of all the money!

    They did give me exercises to try to stretch my lats but every time I only feel it in my shoulders.

    Has anyone had a similar issue and figured out how on the world to stretch out/loosen lats like this?

    Day 2 of 21 Day Yoga Challenge for Beginners. Follow Along. We call this "Leap of Faith"

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 07:00 AM PDT

    Broke my wrist ~10 years ago; needed surgery; went to PT for ~6 months; got frustrated with lack of progress and stopped going. My wrist only has ~60-70% of the mobility of the other wrist; what can I do now that I have a titanium screw and a labyrinth of internal scar tissue in my wrist?

    Posted: 06 Apr 2021 12:05 AM PDT

    My wrist is all fucky. Once in a blue moon I get random bursts of pain, reminiscent of pain I had trying to push a door open with the broken wrist. Sometimes it just feels all fucky and I get a fucky tickle from my thumb down the heel of my palm and into my wrist. Most of the time it feels "fine" but as I get older these things seem to occur more frequently.

    I can't bend my broken wrist inwards more than 45 degrees, but my other wrist can bend inwards to an 80-90 degree angle. I can bend the broken wrist outwards far if I need to, but it's very painful to do normal push-ups and I always do knuckle push-ups for added wrist strength.

    If I go back to PT, or just start doing exercises on my own, what are realistic expectations I can set for myself?

    Stretching routines to do while fasting?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 10:20 PM PDT

    Ramadhan is coming up and I won't be able to workout, so I want to use this opportunity to work on my flexibility. I want to get better flexibility for wrestling and MMA. I was hoping someone could recommend a routine I can do while fasting, so it shouldn't be to intense, that can help me get better flexibility for my goals. I found 2 routines, Scott Adkins Flexibility Tutorial and Improve Flexibility for Martial Arts, that seems pretty good but I want a second opinion. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    How can I warm up my entire body with dynamic stretching before static stretching?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 06:46 PM PDT

    I wanna get flexible all over the place, but I get told a lot that I should warm up first, but I can't tell if I am warmed and I don't know any dynamic stretches to get warmed up.

    What to do in order to keep from throwing out your back?

    Posted: 05 Apr 2021 05:06 PM PDT

    Seems like every 6 months or so I do something that throws out my back. I'm assuming this is due to some kind of imbalance, tightness, etc. Anyone have any recommendations for routines to start doing in order to proactively treat the causes?

    I am very sedentary sitting/standing at a desk for most of the day., so muscles are likely short from that as well.

    Hip Flexors

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 06:55 PM PDT

    I have been doing various static stretches because it has been uncomfortable to stand for any longer than 2 hours recently. After stretching they feel sore but the sharp pain I was getting from standing subsided Any stretch routines you recommend?
