A few times a year, when hinging over- BB Bent rows, Rear Delt Flys, I can feel my back “ go out”. It’s around the Sacral joint and body gets sideways or crooked for a few days. Hip hiked up, QL seems tight and SI joint pain. Any ideas on possible weakness or imbalance issue? Weak glutes ? Hamstrings? Core? Thanks

I pulled my hamstring a week or two ago, and since then I’ve had trouble getting into my splits due to tightness. Anyone have any good stretches to loosen up quickly?

I have used foam roller, a Thera gun massager, handball massage but nothing has successfully released my sciatica. Any suggestions?

I sprained my right ankle terribly yesterday and am ordered to bed rest for 4 days and will be on crutches for a minimum of two weeks.

I’ve never been on crutches before and the pain in my left calf while using them is absolutely unbearable

I’ve always had problems with my calf tightness (inclines have always been miserable while walking) so how do I manage this?

Thank you so much in advance!

hello! so, im a dancer and have been for years so i stretch regularly.

One day i was stretching at home and randomly felt a ripple through the muscle in my right leg, didn’t feel any pain just a weird sensation.

WELL , ever since then my right leg has been really flexible without the need for stretching. i had 3 weeks off over xmas (didn’t stretch once ….oops) and my left leg is SUPER tight, especially in a straddle position but my right is still as flexible as ever.

any clues as to what could have happened ??🤣

I'm overweight, not active and work a desk job. I know all of the above things have been tight but never thought much of it.

I finally staryed going to the gym and got a personal trainer because I'm lost and terrified of being there.

Yesterday was leg day. She kept asking where I was feeling the exercise and it was never in my glutes. Always in my hamstrings. At a certain point, she was shocked and said my glutes are "firing" at all.

I'm so disappointed because I already feel like I'm starting from 0, but now feel like I'm starting from -50 because I can't even get to a baseline.

She also told me she had a similar client and it took her over 6 months of therapy to get her body back in order. Now I feel like just giving up on all of this. I feel like I'm just constantly digging myself out of a hole.

What are some at home stretches or exercises I can even start or try to do at home that may help with all of these issues (I already use a slant board for calves) to help me prevent injury and get out of this hole Im in ?

I have never been able to touch the floor when I stretch. I have a goal this year to do so, but I’m not sure if there are multiple stretches I should be doing every day or just trying to bend over and touch my toes. If anyone has a good game plan here and how long it should take I’d really appreciate it!

I(F24) wanted more pointers on getting a deeper stretch. I used to be in ballet as a child(around 5-9 ish?)and only managed to do front splits once. I can still do them sort of however i definitely cannot do middle splits atm. It feels stuck/stiff. When I do frog pose or horse stance I also feel stuck. I have anterior pelvic tilt even as a child but it has just gotten more exaggerated as I’ve gotten older. I can do most stretches pretty easily, I have to look for intermediate and higher level stretches for them to really “work” for me. My main issue is the stuck feeling behind my knees, in my back(sacrum), and inner groin area. I think this has to do with me having APT. If anyone (maybe that also has APT) can give me potential stretches I can do daily to improve flexibility in those areas that would be great!

TL:DR just want to know stretches that work for APT, inner knee/groin, and unlocking hips(outer and inner). Pretty flexible already need more challenging stretches. Goal of getting more flexible and unlocking hips to be able to do middle splits, horse stance, and frog stretch with ease and less “stuck” feeling.

I only feel pressure in my mid back while doing the pose, and my mid back gets sore after a 5 reps of the pose. What am I doing wrong? where should I be feeling the stretch mainly?

I'm not sure if I have strained my shoulder about a week ago not in pain just not quite right. Any advice ? Is definitely better than it was I know I over did it with doing do many press ups

23M, healthy, fit, never have been able to touch my hands behind my back with one hand over and the other under. I don’t have shoulder pain or anything. I just can’t reach. Is it possible to achieve this through stretching? Any recommended stretches for this?

Hi everyone, looking for some advice on how to help my sore back. I have been a merchandiser for coca cola for 3 years now. I do a lot of heavy lifting on a daily basis, and I pull heavy skids. Also, there is a lot of repetitive motion. I always seem to have soreness in my muscles that are around my shoulder blade area. This time the soreness is just below my shoulder blades. Like I feel the muscles got pulled somehow. The pain will eventually go away for a bit and then it will flare up again in a month or so. My company teaches how to properly lift so I don't injure myself and I try to implement that everyday at work.

I am not sure what exercises would be best for my back. Should I do stretches? Conditioning exercises?

I went to a yoga class today and my back was killing me the whole time. Even sitting up straight I can feel it right away.

Thanks!

IDK if it's ok to post this here, but I'm kind of grasping at straws and I don't have the means for medical intervention ATM (the US is on fire lol)

I've been getting healthier for the last year and a half and really bumped up the exercise the last 5 months, almost 6, and I stretch before and after my heavier workouts (weightlifting, boxing). I'm starting a new leg of this to gain better flexibility so I'm adding a day of stretching and might bump that up to 2x per week depending on how it goes.

My problem is when I comes to stretching my hips. I've got some kind of injury to my right inner hip flexor (groin?) and it's hard to deal with. When I was much fatter, I fell on that knee, and of course the hip got fucked as it was in line. My knee is much better and I'm 70lbs lighter since then (and still going) but now that I'm exercising more, I keep having issues with my hip getting that hot knife stabbing pain and I have to stop and rest. It's getting annoying.

Is there a certain stretching routine or very specific movements that I can do to start working this thing out? That fall was nearly 3 years ago now but the pain is still the same and it's really putting a kink in my workout routine. I love the videos from MovementByDavid and the ones for hips are great, I just can't seem to do the whole thing and some of those I can't get too deep into. I'm hoping this will kind of resolve itself with a proper and consistent stretching routine, but I'd like some advice and if anyone else has dealt with something like this. Thanks!

Hello!! I am STRUGGLING and honestly curious if I’ll ever be able to obtain my middle splits?

I’m all the way down in frog and butterfly, but no matter how much I stretch I cannot get farther in my straddle and am so far from my middle splits.

I do have a hip click on one side, however it’s never caused me any problems (in dance; it has at my last job in the sense where it would click back painlessly after standing a certain way for a while)

Besides the typical hip opener stretches and dance turnout exercises is there anything I can do? I spend at least 2 hours in the gym almost everyday and always stretch at the end for at least 30 mins of that.

I’m also 26, if I’m just too old to get my middle splits I get that 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve got both my left and right tho and middle has been A DREAM 😭💖

Any response is appreciated, much love and thanks in advance 😽💝✨

So as I was doing the stretch where you sit down and touch your toes (forgot the name), I reached a bit more forward, and I could do it. But the day later my hamstrings were aching a lot and I could barely reach my toes bc of the pain. Did I overstretch or should I keep stretching no matter the pain?

Hi, as I got lost in YouTube video’s and internet webpages I decided to ask for help here.

I am looking for daily full body stretching. Not necessarily to do every day, but I would like to have different routines for each day (ex 7 routines for 7 days that in whole would be full body stretching). Doesn’t matter if it’s YouTube or an app, but I need some video to follow along.

I am going to gym 3-5 times per week and I do some Basic stretch after every workout, but as I’m getting older I’d like to improve on this.

Does anyone has some nice recommendations?

I thought the last post had a good muscle anatomy picture necessary to explain where it hurts in my back.

Its mostly middle-back, feels like the muscles surrounding the vertebrae. I have taken 3 MRIs and everything is OK, so it has to be muscular of some sort. When I bend over (head on lap/knees), there is a pressing sensation/pain in this area). Cat pose where I reeeeeeeeeally stretch my spine upwards is the only thing that sort of target the area, but thats it.

Cant find any other excercies that really stretches these muscles almost onto or close to the vertebrae. Different variants of "thread the needle" doesnt work and do not provide any relief.

Its also affecting my sleep to the degree that I have to use pain killers a few nights in order to sleep longer.

Whenever I go down for a squat the muscles in the front of my legs by my shins tighten up. How in the world do I stretch those?

I did Google this and searched around a little but couldn't find anything clear on it. I wanna know, if I only have time to stretch at night and in the morning, which is better for me if my goal is to increase flexibility and mobility?

I am stretching 6-7 days a week. Some days I'm able to find the time to stretch twice, once in the morning, once at night, other days I can only squeeze in one round of stretching. My whole routine consists of 10 stretches, 30 seconds each, with a 15 second rest between, repeated three times, for a total of 22 minutes and 30 seconds.

My goal is largely to just become more flexible for rock climbing but also general mobility.

Here's where I'm stuck. When I stretch in the morning I feel SO TIGHT, like, by the end of routine I'm barely where I'm at on my first attempt when I stretch at night. So my question is, is it better for me to stretch at night because I can get deeper into the stretch and thus get more flexible or is it better to stretch in the morning? When I stretch in the morning I definitely find myself more energized and less tight throughout the day at work.

I'm sorry if this seems like a silly question given that I'm already stretching plenty but it's something I've been wondering as there's gotta be an answer.

I sometimes skip my night time/pre bed stretch if I stretched in the early evening. I stretch in the early evening before I go rock climbing and count that as my second stretch of the day.
