i know there is another thread about the stretch. but i dont know what is going on with that guy.
anyway i mean from the recent article about fixing injuries. the experts recomended doing very long duration hip flexor stretches to fix anterior pelvic tilt. it is odd because previously only a fifteen second stretch was recomended. i am sure you are all aware. so i have been working up to the twenty minutes per leg twice a day. i am on thirteen minutes per leg.
but i have never been very sure about the form. i suppose the specifics are inside one of cressey’s/robertson’s books. i am not sure which. hopefuly not the very expensive one.
the stretch that is pictured has the person with no support, but when i do it i have to have both arms supported. how else can a person relax for extended periods? if there is too much weight on the muscle or it needs to keep balance then it will tense up and you cant stretch it.
i’d like to know that i am doing it right because i am sacrifincing my knee. my left one is messed up. i wear a hard shelled knee pad and have some soft towels. the outside of my left quad is numb like i put a cold compress on it.
