I'm a 38 year old male. When I was 17, I had a fracture on my left elbow from a fall. I had problems with the elbow in terms of mobility and pain for a couple of years, but from when I was about 20 until just recently it has been fine, apart from cracking noises now and then when I stretched it out. During these years I have been working out - push-ups, arm curls etc.
Last summer (2017) I started with pull-ups and chin-ups and in late August I started to notice pain in the elbow.
Slowly lean forward at your waist while maintaining a straight back. Reach for your toes. As you reach for your toes, you should feel a stretch in the back of your upper leg. Hold this position for a count of 10 seconds. Relax and repeat 10 times. Repeat an additional 10 times with the opposite leg if it is affected by high hamstring tendinopathy as well.
Lying hamstring curl can help to improve strength and flexibility in your hamstring muscles.
at 13, in 2009, i had a spinal fusion and rods inserted for my s-curve scoliosis. i believe it was somewhere around L2 or L3 to T4 or 5. basically my entire spine.
with 2 years passed, i've found my daily pain to be much worse than it was before my surgery. i've tried everything to reduce pain, from massages to physical therapy and even prescription drugs, but all of those had either no results or temporary ones.
now, at 16 years old, i've made the decision to try to go back.
Gentle stretches such as side bends, shoulder shrugs, arm circles, overhead stretches, and bending to reach (but not touch) your toes are all good warm-up exercises. Do three to five repetitions of each. If you are swimming or walking, you can also warm up with a slower swim or walk.
If you have OA in your knees or hips, you want to avoid any jolting exercise like jogging that causes your feet to pound the ground.
Use the workouts that make use of flexibility and stretching, strength training and aerobics for the best results. Fitting in regular sessions of weightlifting, calisthenics or other strength activities can help increase muscle mass and keep the body toned and strong. Aerobics will help with burning calories, endurance and weight management, and stretching helps prevent injuries and prepare the body for more intense movements.
My right arm was normal with no decreased flexibility. There was no pain, and I just figured the problem with the left arm was reduced flexibility due to aging.
Then about 4-5 months ago, I noticed that the range of motion had reduced even more. Maybe a few more inches. Still no real pain. This basically only affected the ability to reach behind my back and wash it in the shower. Up until that time, it never entered my mind that something could be wrong with my shoulder/upper arm.
To get at the harder-to-reach jaw muscles inside your mouth, use your index finger to probe for tender areas behind the teeth, and use the finger to massage these spots.
Other home-care therapies, such as moist heat or cold packs on the face, vitamin supplements, or biofeedback are useful for some people. Exercising several times each week may help you relax, strengthen your body, increase flexibility, and increase your ability to handle pain.
I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot.
I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.
PCmuscle exercise is kegel exercise. we seek two things with it. One is flexibility and the other is strength. Flexibility is more important. By squeezing and relaxing faster, we increase flexibility and and by holding it we increase strength. It is important to give equal time for relaxation. then only the exercise is effective.Google kegel exercise to learn more about it.
Male Deer Exercise and Female deer exercise is recommended by Taoist yoga for sexual stamina.
Usually the main predictors of aortic dissection are family history, aortic size, and aortic flexibility. For someone of your aortic size, I would take it easy. Try the ARB approach with a max or ultra-max high dosage (as long as your doctor lets you) and see if that reduces aortic size and aortic flexibility (the "pulse pressure" is one way to estimate the flexibility - Google it). If so, then perhaps you can talk to your doctor about athletics.
Stretching isn't the best way to improve flexibility—lifting weights through a full range of motion is, according to a recent study at the University of North Dakota. Pausing for 2 to 3 seconds at the "down" position of the lift (where you feel the stretch) without relaxing your muscles is even more effective.
I am very active and cycle about 5 hours a week and about 5 hours a week of more weight bearing exercise. I have not been able to regain full flexibility to the knee, I am lacking 10 degrees of motion. I ice my knee most every day after exercising. I completed a series of 3 shots of Euflexxa about 6 weeks ago and have felt no difference from that. I started physical therapy twice a week for the last three weeks which lasts about 1.
If you can understand that with increasing age the flexibility decreases and you can regain that with much practice and concentration. You need to strengthen your feet with proper exercise and control over a period of time, we are sure you can do better than what you are doing now and under a good trainer. Take care!
Good question.
The answer is to try and picture what is going on. It's all about the timing and flexibility and healthy valves, in particular the Mitral valve which seperates the two left chambers. Another factor of course is pressure but you would need severe hypertension to really have a negative effect and this would have been highlighted and treated long before now.
So, the timing and flexibility. The left ventricle must contract to push oxygenated blood out through your body.
U have non stopping pain under my right bum..

I have a bulging L5 - S1 that has been causing problems for just over a year now. I've had 4 epidurals, and have been taking pain pills daily. About 6 month ago I started getting really bad upper back spasms, I had an MRI, CT Scan, and Ultra Sound that all came back clear. I got another epidural about a month ago and the back spasms went away (they are starting to come back as the epidural is wearing off).
Sit Up Crunches - lay on back, do a normal crunch, but reach your right hand to your right foot, keep core strong, you will be turning towards your feet for each repetition, and then stable your body up in the centre before laying back, and doing it again.
You can also do this same exercise with more intensity, by laying on your side on your bed with your torso hanging off the bed. Then use your core strength to lift your torso sideways, upwards to your hip as far as you can.
2) is it normal to have no and I mean no flexibility. I cannot do any type of movement to the side, bend over etc...without a shooting pain. 3) Whenever I turn at the waist, I get a tearing sensation. Is this also normal after this procedure. 4) The area around my abdomen is hard and every now and then I feel a tightness that takes my breath away. 5) I can't sleep normally. What I mean by this, is where normally you can toss and turn and shift positions while you sleep, I cannot.
But also, as we age our flexibility diminishes. So flexibility should be focused on as well. Youre target heart range after you have been cleared is (220-your age) x .85
You are not too old to increase your strength, flexibility endurance or efficiency. In fact, since you are so out of shape-it will be more likely that you will have a steep curve of improvement with some concerted effort.
When I was first diagnosed with diabetes I was on basal-bolus. I had one very serious low. I hated it as there was no flexibility in eating. I then changed to basal-bolus and not only did I have much better control and excellent flexibility, I no longer have any serious lows.
Working with a chiropractor, I got a hip flexor malady adjusted; the PT said I needed to work on flexibility. My left leg kind of 'hangs/float' and doesn't extend out normally. I feel it even when I'm walking. The odd part is that I can't really self-correct it with mental striving. I'm thinking it's more than just bad flexibility - wondering if I'm not really neurologically talking to my lower leg?
