Avatar f tn anyone have any good body stretches? I'm looking for new ones or ones I haven't seen before... Contortionist type stretches are welcome too!!
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 m tn 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. I had an X-ray taken in December that my Internal Med. Physician initially said revealed dehydrated discs around the S1 area but later said they looked fine. I have been doing yoga 3-5 times a week the past 1.
Avatar n tn Vigorous low-impact exercise is beneficial – for your joints, as well as for cardiovascular, pulmonary, and other systems in your body. If you can't do vigorous exercise, try walking, tai chi and yoga. If you're overweight then you need to diet. Drink concentrated tart cherry juice. it contains anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which help support a healthy immune response for your joints. Make sure you're getting your vit. D, omega-3 fatty acids from krill or high quality fish oil.

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!
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 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 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 f tn Rolling hips slowly around like a hula hoop is good. Wide squats are good for flexibility and leg and glute strength, but sometimes aggrivate my sciatic. Swinging your arms as they dangle at your sides, in a circle, stretches your back and whole middle body. Rolling ankles helps blood flow and soreness. I like downward facing dog or modified child's pose (with belly on floor and legs out to make space) to stretch back and to relieve pelvic pressure.
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 Its at its worst in the am when I wake up and pretty much never feels 100% even after NSAIDs. After doing extensive research I believed it to be piriformis syndrome and I did several stretches for it daily and while it helped a bit it has not fixed the problem. After doing more research I believe it to be a herniated disk and have tried to do stretches for that, but it doesnt seem to help. The pain seems to be the worst if I lay flat on my back and roll my hips towards the ceiling.
Avatar f tn Google stretches for SPD!! I had the same issue and you can find some good info online...I ended up going to physical therapy it has done wonders! See if your ins will cover it and your see if your doc will send you!
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 f tn You guys are better than the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders!!! The only reason I got through w/d and have come this far is because of all of YOU! Thanks so so so much! We are part of a great team going through this together. All of your stories, advice, ups and downs shared mean the world to me. I feel good! Onward to 90!
Avatar m tn Hi I have both Plantar Faciitis and Achilles Tendonitis for a while now but with going to rehab it is finally getting better. 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.
333672 tn?1273792789 ve just been doing various leg stretches and not for a real long time (maybe 10 breaths? for each stretch twice a day) Also does anybody do any kind of hand or finger stretches? My fingers get pretty stiff to so maybe I should be doing something there (or does typing count?) I feel less discomfort since I started stretching, although I don't think I'm actually walking any better or farther.
Avatar f tn Silsbee High School in Texas wants their cheerleaders smiling, energetic, and willing to cheer for their rapists by name. Go team! H.S., a Silsbee student, reported being raped by Rakheem Bolton with the help of two of his friends, a fellow student and athletic star. In the end, Bolton ended up getting off without serving any jail time by pleading guilty to a lesser assault charge, spending two years on probation, doing community service, paying a fine, and attending anger management courses.
Avatar f tn Take food items that strengthen your body, stretching and flexibility exercises are good for the purpose.
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.

Don't tell that to Megan M. and Crystal B., two Indianapolis Colts cheerleaders who agreed to have their heads shaved to benefit leukemia research during the Colts' 20-13 Sunday win over the Buffalo Bills at Indy's Lucas Oil Field.
Avatar m tn So 5 weeks ago I go in for day surgery. IV is put in (the damn thing was huge) and I tell him that hurts alot I have had IVs in my hand before and this hurts. He brushes it off and says it's fine its in your hand it will hurt. Now I also am hyperflexable in my hands keep that in mind. So I wake up and tell the first nurse it hurts can it come out, "no it's in your hand they do hurt sorry".
