Avatar m tn Over the last 2 years I have built up the muscles in my feet and have increased flexibility with daily stretches and exercises but still suffer from painful cramp in my arches and toes. It seems to occur when my toes are pointed for long periods of time as I tend to tense my feet quite hard.
Avatar f tn It has the correct stretches for every sport. Your shin pain and plantar fasciitis may be related. When your shin hurts you may be adjusting your movement and huring your heel. Once you have the right shoes, both conditions will be helped by stretching.
Avatar f tn I am going to describe some neck stretches that really helped keep my neck pain down when I went to PT. I also do them now that PT is over. One: Put your right hand behind your back up between your shoulder blades. Lean your head to the right as far as you can with your ear toward your shoulder. Try to keep looking forward as you do this. Hold for a count of 20. Do the same with the left arm and lean to the left side. Do this about 5 times on each side.
Avatar m tn I have been sore right around both of my gluteus Maximus muscles since December. The muscle is very tight and seems to be restricting the movement of my lower lumbar. It's uncomfortable to sit even for short periods of time as there is a dull pain from my glutes down the back of my legs. I have been to a spinal PT and I temporarily felt better but not much. He focused only on my spine and said my movement was very limited for a 27 year old.
Avatar m tn (exercise bike, and stretches), you could end up damaging and tearing muscles and tendons, which you do not want. Same for singing. It is important to do "warm up" exercises to gently loosen up the vocal chords before starting to sing using the full vocal range. Again, damage can be caused to the vocal chords if these are strained. Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a physical-culturist from Mönchengladbach, Germany.
Avatar n tn m sitting at my desk and stretching my arms back. It stretches my back/upper torso and arms, but when I do it I seem to hold my breathe a bit and it causes a very intense pain on the very top of my head. The intensity goes down after a few moments and then a small headache lingers from a few minutes to a few hours. I don't try to hold my breathe though and I don't hold the stretch for more than a few seconds.
Avatar f tn So, I just had my first prenatal yoga class and it was amazing. The stretches helped my lower back soooo much. I highly recommend it!

333672 tn?1273792789 Well, the neuro told me last week that I should stretch. Which I knew, but I kept procrastinating. And it did hurt at first, but it's gotten better. Anyway, I was just wondering what anyone else does for stretching? Or does anyone have anything that particularly works for them? This is the one the neuro mentioned: http://www.exrx.net/Stretches/Gastrocnemius/Wall.html. Basically I've just been doing various leg stretches and not for a real long time (maybe 10 breaths?
1936411 tn?1333831849 I would love to hear about some of the specific stretches/exercises they feel have been beneficial. If anyone has any good websites or videos to share, that would be great as well. I'm hoping this topic will be useful to many of us.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Perform yoga or stretches after each exercise session to improve your flexibility and reduce your risk of soreness and injuries. Stretching helps to elongate your muscles to give your legs a leaner appearance. No excess sodium and improve your diet to reduce water retention. Your knees and other areas appear larger when you carry excess water. Cut out processed meat, table salt, salty snack foods, canned foods and most frozen dinners.
Avatar f tn t bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.
Avatar m tn I may try to see my orthopedic doctor and maybe get an MRI. I tried hip abductor stretches, also ice and muscle strengthing. Last night I could not a lay a way that did not hurt. I use motrin. Advice and tips welcome.
Avatar m tn The visibility of pulsating arteries depends on the amount of tissue that surrounds the artery, the flexibility of the artery, the blood pressure... You probably are a young lean person? Have your blood pressure checked to be sure that it is in the normal range. If this is the case, then this is really nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn Practice yoga during your pregnancy!

Avatar f tn Warming up with gentle stretching can help get your body ready for your workout. 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.
Avatar m tn My pain started about 3-4 months ago with mild hamstring pain in both legs. It was a dull sometime shooting pain. I had very little flexibility in my hamstrings until I stretched them. The pain has become more extreme and is now hurting in my lower legs (shin splints and ankle), hips, butt, hamstrings etc. The pain was in both legs but now is 90% in my right leg. Its at its worst in the am when I wake up and pretty much never feels 100% even after NSAIDs.
Avatar m tn Yoga is a fantastic way to stay active and healthy, but it's important to have the right equipment to help you perform your poses with ease and safety. One of the most essential items in your yoga kit is a non-slip yoga mat, which can help prevent slips and falls and provide better stability during your practice. Additionally, a yoga stretching strap can be an invaluable tool for deepening your stretches and improving your flexibility.
Avatar m tn I'm an 18 year old male and have been expericening chest pain. It only hurts when I lower my shoulders all the way. The pain is at the center of my chest and can go to my back at the center. I played basketball last Saturday and I was chest checking people so I'm guessing and hoping it's brusised I haven't had any other symptoms. Does this sound serious?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I go on walks everyday, do squats, an I do stretches like I'll lean to one side and hold it for about 40secs then do the other side.
Avatar m tn I went to an appointment with my orthopedist and he said to do these heel stretches where I put my hands agaisnt the wall and with my injured heel placed back and turned inward and stretch it 30 seconds/5 times per set/8 times a day. Now my heel felt GREAT before I started doing this, and I was doing the stretches my physical therapist assigned me to do at home.
4774223 tn?1374093284 ROUND LIGAMENT PAIN The uterus is suspended by the round ligament, which connects the uterus to the abdominal wall. As the organ stretches and cramps, it pulls on and stretches this ligament, resulting in sharp or stabbing pains behind the belly button. Round ligament pain is common even in very early pregnancy, and becomes exacerbated by sudden movements, deep abdominal stretches and occasionally even by pressure.

Avatar m tn 200 lbs, healthy (besides a previous knee surgery), strong athletic 16 year old. During may of 2009, I was recieving a dull, heavy chest pain and pain when i twisted my torso clockwise and counterclockwise. Also i was recieving pain when i extended my chest outward. So i got looked at by a doctor and they did an EKG and an echocardiogram. I don't know if the symptoms are accounted for by the diagnosis, but they said i had had a mild enlargement/inflation of the aortic root.
