Hello, I've been doing stretching exercises for a few weeks now so I can touch my toes with a straight back. So, to become more flexible. After the stretches, I feel a bit better than before, and I can reach further down to my feet. However, the next day I am just as stiff as…
Hey I want to become more stretchy, but I don't notice anything. I've been stretching every night for a week. Now I'd like to know when I'll start to feel a change. Does anyone know?
Hello, I want to learn the splits and am wondering if it would be counterproductive or unnecessary to stretch for 1-2 hours a day in order to reach my goal faster… Ie: is there an upper limit to stretching time?
I have a high arch due to a shortened Achilles tendon. The guy who diagnosed it showed me a specific exercise that works on stairs. I'm supposed to do it in the evening. But I hate the exercise and never do it. First, it hurts my foot (you're halfway up a step), and second, I…

And it wouldn't be 100% right for a calcified shoulder! Is he right + what would you do or what did you get? I know, every…
I am female, 14 years old and 163-164 cm. I saw on Google that you can grow through stretching exercises, so you get a little taller but not much taller, about 2-7 cm.
Do you have any good stretching exercises for practicing multiple exercises at once? I'd like to stretch and learn both splits and generally become more flexible.
Hi guys! I've had pain in the crook of my right elbow for almost two weeks now, after I let myself be persuaded to do arm wrestling without warming up and without any experience. The pain is sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the strain on the arm. I also have to say that I…
Hey, I was wondering if a steep cervical spine is curable? I've heard everything from yes to no, even from physiotherapists. And how do intervertebral discs regain fluid in a steep cervical spine position? At my first proper physiotherapy appointment, I was shown mobilization exercises to get it back to its normal curvature. But this…
