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 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 do then for my flabby triceps lol. I Also do squats as the shower is running before I get in to help my thighs and butt. Prenatal yoga too for flexibility. You can get a cheap DVD from Walmart.
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.
739070 tn?1338603402 She said that because my biceps were so tight that it was weakening my triceps. I wonder if that sort of thing can lead to spasms and if that sort of exercise plan could work for you. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help. I hope it gets resolved for you soon!
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 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 f tn Does anyone now any good triceps excercises, i do so many bicep exercises but my triceps are weak and dont want an imbalance between the two muscles thanks
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 f tn Hi, there might be the case that you're not doing the push-ups properly or if you are doing it in a proper manner then your neck muscles are not in good condition. Sometimes you are focusing on an exercise and another group of muscles get stretched unintentionally. That might be the case with you. I advise you to give some rest and ice treatment to your neck muscles for some days or even weeks.
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?
Avatar f tn t hurt your knees until you break a sweat. Then, perform some static stretches to loosen the muscles and ligaments before you begin. Take 10 to 15 minutes to thoroughly warm up your body, or follow a specific routine as set down by your physical therapist, if you have one. Swimming is gentle on all your joints. You can perform most of the swimming strokes to swim laps of the pool, tread water or just move around as you please to exercise without impact on your knees.
Avatar f tn t bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.
Avatar m tn Exercise is only beneficial if you use your head. You need to work biceps and triceps and all the other opposing muscles in a balanced fashion. When you are done working out, do gentle, slow stretches. The process takes time.
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 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 n tn We had seen several physiotherapists, osteopaths, neuropaths and he has also had ultrasound treatment with no improvement to his symptoms. He constantly stretches his neck to relieve this feeling and this is usually accompanied by a "snapping" sound from the stiff muscle. Some doctors have speculated that his height could have contributed to this (he is 6'4"). I just want to help my son with this pain that has affected his life for the last two years.
Avatar m tn Bench press other than involving your chest pectoralis muscles involves your arm muscles like deltoids, biceps and triceps and your forearm muscles like anconeus and coracobrachialis. I would suggest you to get yourself examined near an orthopedician for a possible pull or damage to any muscle and take appropriate treatment. You can decrease the pain by using ice packs and also by intake of intermittent pain killers. Take care!
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 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.
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?
