I dunno man. I couldn't suck my dick before I started stretching and now I'm pretty damn close. Must be an optical illusion?All bullshit
I think we can all agree that movement is medicine when it comes to the back. Except in my case where I fucked the SI joint from a hard fall and not doing anything was the perfect cure ... and someone else I know who ignored his low back pain, kept going hard resulting in the disc literally bursting, and then having to get surgery to remove the fluid that had encrusted around his nerves... but ya, in most cases don't see a dr.Basically what VM is saying-
Back pain: we're treating it all wrong
Imagine a medical condition that becomes worse the more it's treated – let's call it Malady X. Millions are spent on expensive therapies, on surgery, injections and pills, yet Malady X continues to strike down the young and the old, and especially the poor.medicalxpress.com
Substitute shoulder for ankle, and 58 for 40, and this is what I was told months ago -
What is flexibility? it's certainly not a medical term nor is it used in any real clinical setting. What is tightness? It's not a medical term that described joint health either. The only thing I can come up with is you believe you have an issue accessing full range of motion in a specific joint. If this is to be accepted as true you either have:I dunno man. I couldn't suck my dick before I started stretching and now I'm pretty damn close. Must be an optical illusion?
I still find it hard to believe that flexibility doesn't help. Last time I hurt ]left hamstring it changed my gate which put more pressure on my knees leading to knee problems. When the tightness of the hamstring released the knee problems went away.
How is that bullshit?
Also had a friend playing lacrosse in an ankle brace which completely restricted range of motion. He planted on that ankle and instead of the ankle flexing as it should, all that pressure went right into his knee. Ended up dislocating his kneecap with a fracture and tears of the ACL and MCL. Again, I find it hard to believe the restricted range of motion in the ankle didn't at the least contribute to the knee injury.
This doesn't happen.and someone else I know who ignored his low back pain, kept going hard resulting in the disc literally bursting, and then having to get surgery to remove the fluid that had encrusted around his nerves... but ya, in most cases don't see a dr.
Don't listen to this dumbass VomMeister.
Listen to a master kinesiologist.
I'm not listening to any of you assholes!Yes, listen to you self suck coach, when decades or medical research have proven him to be an asshole.
Does he put it in your bottom?Don't listen to this dumbass VomMeister.
Listen to a master kinesiologist.
Depends. How hard are you stretching your dick?I dunno man. I couldn't suck my dick before I started stretching and now I'm pretty damn close. Must be an optical illusion?
I am not a medical professional and do not know whether "flexible" and "tight" are correct medical terms or not. So I am just being the messenger here when I say that some of the qualified medical professionals who have treated me have used the term "tight" to describe a certain part of me. I have also been prescribed stretches by some of them.What is flexibility? it's certainly not a medical term nor is it used in any real clinical setting. What is tightness? It's not a medical term that described joint health either... .
Two of the massage therapists who treat me have wholeheartedly agreed that the best time to stretch when correcting something that is too tight is immediately after exercise and not before. I have been offered two different regimens for post exercise stretch.i think stretching has a time and place for sure. at the end of the day - it feels good so why not? I dont think its wise to do before you surf or workout but fine after.

Ask them about when your dick gets tight. They are qualified...Im sure. Have you made a prostate inquiry?This is a lower back problem thread, so I will give an example relevant to this topic. Every 3 weeks I get a deep tissue massage along with a chiropractic adjustment at the same chiro clinic. Two of the massage therapists who worked/work there have independently noticed that the top front of my thigh gets tight. It gets tight from the way I enjoys my sports.
These people are assholes. You should stop seeing them.One of them explained that when this gets too tight it can cause the lower back to arch too much which is not good for posture. There has been a lot of emphasis on correcting my posture at the clinic. The masseurs prescribed me stretches (I think they gave different types - I only remember one of the stretches which I continue to do regularly).
I'm sorry. I couldn't finish reading this...but I'm positive it's bullshit. All the jargon they told you is bullshit and made-up.I have also been given a simple flexibility test on a few occasions, although I can't honestly remember if the word flexible was used. One of those occasions was when I was getting followed up for a posterior dislocation of my shoulder (skateboard accident), Unlike an anterior dislocation to that same shoulder which happened many years earlier and required surgery to re-attach stuff that had got torn from the bone, the posterior dislocation left things remarkably intact - no torn labrum or anything. I was told by the physio (follow up to my A&E treatment), that my shoulder was "stable" after a stability test was performed - the term "stable" used. When I seemed surprised (I was fearing bad news) the physio qualified it with "well just as stable as your other shoulder", my other shoulder has not had any injuries like that. It was noted that my whole structure was generally on the "lax" side - I think, but not sure that term used, however lets not get hung up on words. Lax joints makes me prone to dislocations. I was given a quick touch the toes with straight legs test to help confirm that or not - in my layman's terms I took this to be a simple flexibility test.
Tight is not a medical term nor can it describe healthy or non healthy joints or tissue. You should send your professionals over to my house and I will beat them and tell them to never repeat their bullshit again. I will make them apologize to you. Unfortunately whatever money you gave them is lost forever. Too bad you didn't give this money to the homeless.So my experiences are that some things can get too "tight" for which stretching is appropriate and some things can get too "lax" for which stretching is not prescribed - for the latter situation weight/resistance training and muscle reflex training was prescribed.
You're right. Don't listen to me. Listen to every medical opinion and study performed over the last decade.Don't listen to this dumbass VomMeister.
Listen to a master kinesiologist.
