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 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 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 Losing as few pounds can cut the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis by 50% for some women. Although OA typically affects the knees, your hips, hands, lower back, and neck may also be affected. Always ask your doctor before doing any exercise! 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.
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!
Avatar f tn What stretches do u suggest? 2nights back I was struggling to climb on my bed Mom had to come and assist my tummy still small haven't showed yet this is my 1st child I'm 28 am I too old maybe for 1st born maybe?
192055 tn?1263555537 t want to use bolts since it would make it a fixed joint (there is suppose to be a little play) so I would lose some flexibility. Well my doc now said that he thinks that my neck muscle could be too tight which is causing my pain that I am having. I go back to the doctor tomorrow to see if I need a second surgery. If I do need one, I would not mind bolts, I already lost some flexibility and it won't strain any muscles. Has anyone had any surgeries like this? Should I do the second surgery?
Avatar m tn Look up via Google or another search engine the topic of exercises for when you have been sitting at the computer too long. There are some good stretches and other exercises. If you do them once an hour, and remember to stand up hourly also, they help a LOT. I used to have horrible neck pain from the computer and now not so. Also, try to sleep flat when you are on your back. (Use your pillow when you are on your side.) That also helps.
Avatar n tn There are exercises you can do, look them up under "neck pain from working on the computer;" some stretches and stuff. Not that this comes from only working on the computer, but if you are right-handed and mouse with your right hand, it's a suspect.
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 He has prescribed a bunch of range of motion/flexibility stretches and strength exercises for the neck. He has also given me a cervical neck stretch pillow called a Denneroll to help encourage my neck to regain some of it's curve. My concussion therapist is also an Athletic Therapist and has done some gentle dura release work and gentle neck stretches with me and has given me some stretches and strength exercises for my lower back.
Avatar f tn Practice yoga during your pregnancy!
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 n tn hi i had been suffering with constant pain like yours for over a year i googled in stretches for neck and shoulder pain and by god they really helped it all tension and doing the stretches for a few days days really worked also i used hot and cold packs hope you try this
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 Also I need to crack my neck a lot or I will feel uncomfortable. Everyday I have been trying to improve my neck by doing neck rolls etc. And when I turn my neck to the right or left I need to push my head with my hand to keep it parallel to the ground. If I don't then my head is at an angle when I turn my head. Just turning my head to look at something, my neck makes a lot of cracks.
Avatar n tn nothings ever popped real loud that i can think of. .. but when i do a slow circle rotation with my neck (like neck stretches) i can feel it pop and grind real hard. doesnt hurt. but can just feel it. im only 22. and do retail work. so im afraid i;ve slipped a disk or something.
Avatar f tn I do neck stretches every day. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?? My doctor has no idea what the reason for such intense pain is. .. any suggestions or guesses would be greatly appreciated. im 25 and am in good health.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the answers! I searched around the net for a bit and there seems to be some exercise to correct my neck posture. I have a bad case of computer neck syndrome. May be I'll try ice pack and heat pack both to see which helps better. Thanks again! Hard to find a chiropractor in my country though. Non existent even, I would say.
Avatar f tn do any of you experience constant popping in your neck? I have contined to have neck and shoulder pain daily, some days worse than others.....but my neck started popping about 2 months ago and hasn't stopped. No matter how slightly I move me head it pops.
