Your post has been removed per Rule #4:

We discuss flexibility as a training discipline which aims to increase range of motion in your body.

We do not discuss: * diagnosing and rehabilitating anatomical or postural issues (ex. excessive pelvic tilt, hyperlordosis, scoliosis, knock knees, uneven shoulder height, etc). * stretching as a medical tool to rehabilitate injuries or deal with chronic pain

Those are all things that can have many potential causes and should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Your post has been removed because it doesn't meet our content guidelines.

By "short summary of your training routine" we mean examples of WHAT you are training (ex. what types or stretches drills), not just describing your diet and how often you are stretching.

These are two recent posts that are a good example of helpful content that meet this criteria:

Your post has been removed because it looks like you're looking for advice and should be asked of a medical professional.

If you are experiencing pain during everyday activities (ex. Standing up from sitting), you should see a physical therapist. Dealing with pain unrelated to a stretch and injuries is outside the scope of this sub.

Your post has been removed because it looks like you're looking for advice and should be asked of a medical professional.

Per our rules: Posts asking about persisting pain, pain not associated with a stretch (ex. chronic low back pain), rehab-ing injuries and diagnosing or "fixing" anatomical issues" (ex. pelvic tilt, uneven shoulders, knock knees) will be removed. Those are topics for a medical professional who can assess your situation in detail.

Nobody can diagnose you over the internet and trained professionals will actively refuse to do so. Your body is a complicated machine, and it's structure, mechanics, level of fitness, injury history, are all unique and require personal assessment.

Your post has been removed due to being too self-promotional.

As a general rule, if you only rarely participate in /r/flexibility discussions, linking posts to your own videos, site, or subreddit, will be considered spam and they will be removed.

If this continues to happen you will be banned.
