I have recently been practising the front splits and I am 96.23547% there :lol:

 

BUT. I have done something to the muscle just above and underneath the knee( not the calf) and I was wondering what-if any-stretches I could do to help me get rid of it

 

It only happens when I kick or stretch

fool me once... shame on you

fool me twice... I'll cut your *

Regardless of just where the pain happens to be.... it shouldn't "be".

 

You are either bouncing into your stretches or clearly stretching without proper warmup. It could very well be the hamstring ... in that case you need to ease back into your stretching routine gradually.

 

Don't force it .... your flexibility will come!

Thanx I think what I may have done is made it ballistic Too fast it was because I can't really comfortably sit in it...yet but I tried bringing my head to my knee Which I did, but it hurt

don't try to stretch it too much for three or four days. You need to let it heal before you can start lengthening it again. If you stretch when you have a micro-tear, you will just create more scar tissue, which is less flexible than normal .

 

"Take it slow or you'll be going backwards." that's what my sahbumnim tells me, at least. Very Zen.

Might as well take my advice--I don't use it anymore.
