Sohan Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Lots of regular stretching will help you recover quickerRichard, I'm going to respectfully disagree on this. You should never stretch a torn muscle in the days following the injury because you run a high risk of making the tear worse or reinjuring the muscle. You should wait until the muscle no longer is painful, then do limited range of motion exercises that warm the muscle sufficiently, then perform light stretches that only occur over about 50% of range of movement. Gradually he can progress to deeper stretches if he experiences no pain. Immediately in the days after a bad pull/tear, it is better to simply keep the joint immobile and allow nature to repair the tissue.I know this from many past experiences, unfortunately. With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth." Zen Master Nakahara Nantenbo"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action." Samuarai maxim"Knowing others is wisdom; knowing yourself is Enlightenment."

RichardHangHong Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 That's what I meant too Sohan. I was just rushing around as I posted. Oops! Should have put a bit more detail in there.Obviously it's a bad idea to stretch a torn muscle. However, if it's just been pulled or strained, a bit of light (and I do mean LIGHT!) stretching keeps it from knotting up too badly.

However, if it's just been pulled or strained, a bit of light (and I do mean LIGHT!) stretching keeps it from knotting up too badly.Unfortunately, every little movement with my leg beyond that of a short walking step makes it feel like it is stretching! It is feeling a little better now, though. I am still nervous about trying it, however. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
