This weeks video....

will expand on the iliotibial stretches from last week's lesson. It should be uploaded either Saturday or Sunday, so check back. In the meantime, please note that if a stretch is difficult to do, it means it really needs to be done. Tight muscles speak in the language of pain, you just get to choose how loud it speaks. When you lift a box and tear a muscle, your muscles will scream "pain". That is different from the pain you feel bending over your leg to stretch that same muscle before your injury ever happens. By the way, if you keep at stretching those muscles that "speak pain", they will lengthen, become more pliable, and will no longer be an issue for you.

If you enjoy this blog, and the videos, please turn others on to it. I created howtostretch.com to help alleviate pain in the world. I know that many people can get feel better from stretching muscles that are tight from either physical reasons or emotional ones. Thanks.
