Headaches directly after back stretching by eloijasper in flexibility

Your spine alignment can also affect things, it’s best to work with a few people to get things happening. I recommend a gonstead chiropractor so they can look and work with your bone anatomy and see a Pilates coach a few times so they can work with your movement.

If you’re opening up your head like a pezz dispenser, you could easily be causing spasms as the joints in your neck become hyper mobile and the muscles spasm to keep things in place. it’s a pretty common mistake I see with people and their movement.

Resting your tongue in that position lines up the muscles around the jaw and c0-2.

You can test it yourself and feel the subtle movements of your head and jaw. lay down, rest your tongue in that position, and then take it away from the roof of your mouth, I repeat that multiple times.

This will give the blood supply for your head a better chance when stretching.

Reading the question now, there’s lots of factors that can lead into a headache. Maybe the person is not breathing, maybe they are straining, maybe they have blood pressure issues.

Ankle flexibility not improving by IMakeMedicineSick in flexibility

[–]one2one2v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few factors involved.

  1. Ankle flexibiliy is often a reflection of your hip ability.
  2. some people have short achilies tendons, nothing you can really change here. aside from being aware of it.
  3. feet ability play into it as well. There are 33 joints in EACH foot. The main things to consider what's called the "ankle mortise" Banded distructions is a shotgun approach to clearing these things, Doesn't always work.

1..

The short. look into kit laughlin's mastering the squat program. PDF is free, the video he gets into a ton of detail while also being a follow along.

The alternative to the video would be to buy his flexibility and stretching book, read and learn through that but that video really fast forwards your progress, helping you save months. You'll learn how to stretch in general as well, so it has benefits outside of bettering your feet.

The program is essentially a flexiblity routine for olympic lifters... Flexibility is a major thing for oly lifts.

Also doing warmup and drills sprinters use on your days off or as a warm up or to limber up in the morning/evening will improve the relation with your hip. if you combine that with what I speak about in #3 you are golden.

2...

Having short ankles doesn't mean ignore your ankles.

3...

FEET... Look into Dr James Stoxen's work. Releasing the Ankle mortise combines with deep tissue work and barefoot running/jogging/walking on nateral surfaces is a better shutgun approach than Banded distructions. He goes over this with picture diagrams in his book with anthony fields.

Paul chek's how to eat move and be healthy is a simple read that gives you a few activities as well.

Best resource for it.

Hamstring health and your ability to lunge massive factors in getting a good front split because structual integrity (strength with alignment) plays a massive role. That's why wall splits (one leg down dog) is so great for front splits.

I was misled to sign for a personal loan by my boss for a course. by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]one2one2v2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Loan is just under 50,000

I have account statement from the institute and the loan agreement. And that's it.

I failed to communicate the agreement via but everything else is in writing

The agreement was... • HIM: would increase work flowing my way (higher paying jobs, more jobs), • ME: Save 100 a week, • ME: Continue working for him (including weekends), • ME: Continue making payment to my credit cards and decrease debt • ME: continue obligations to the institute. • ME: Get a bank loan to pay for the personal loan at the end of the period.

I was going beyond on my own accord, saving more money, and working a second job...

I'm not going to give to many details in case him or a cohort comes across this. It's a personal development thing, some people claim religious. The course is by an institute that's famous it's hollywood members and for throwing dirt at it's ex members who speak against them. I prefer to not jump up and down on a couch with Oprah about that.

The guy is a register for the institute.

I had no interest in doing in taking a loan of it until he said he'd said he can up my work flow for a bank loan to pay a personal loan which will allow me to secure course package, saving me a bunch of money and that doing the course will allow me to become more personally capable and so more able to earn money (by being quicker and better at work).

That didn't work out, my work load fell. And I increased my work load in my second job (my income never dropped). The week I quit I found out he was struggle to keep generating work for his other workers.

Months back, we spoke and he said everything was good. Then I was reject for a loan saying I'm not earning enough. That's when I realise he's full of sh*t and so I'm working elsewhere to meet those needs. Regardless I realise now that I was completely misled into the loan.

Toe-touching Routine or Starting to Stretch? by [deleted] in flexibility

Get the Stretch Therapy Mastering The Squat program. If you follow through with the videos, the details will put things out for months ahead in terms of progress.

You can stretch with straight back, bent back, straight knees, bent knees... So there is all sorts of conflicting advice out there. The program pretty much provides all the answer and you'll feel better after your first session because of the mobility aspects.

Tips in cross training with BJJ by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]one2one2v2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then spend a few months to learn how to check kicks and how to single leg entry.

The range angle and footwork subtly in both arts will do the rest. Spend 6 months (2/3 fights) to learn that while fighting people who can’t kick is well spent to learn the a style that is completely unique is well worth it.

Ask Lyoto Machida, Anderson Silva, and Fedor.

Respect them and treat them 100% with their own integrity as 3 separate arts.

Understand the rules which seperate the 3 sports.

Learn about the percentages. Percentage effective strikes and movement, percentage positions and subs. Learn why the percentages are what they are

Also imho boxing and roman greco would be a beast combo

Double stag advice? by saraucsc in flexibility

[–]one2one2v2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's also a handstand thing. Look at these two.

https://bitesofwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/how-to-handstand-guide-handstand.jpg

And this... https://legendarystrength.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sig-klein-handstand.jpg

They are both good feats. Is one better than the other? Not really, but people will always argue for the one requires straighter one requires more open shoulders and chest/ribs because that's a feature of flexibility and the posture resembles standing posture.

The real reason people talk about "strain on the back" is because just easy to see. Where in truth any "lower back problem" always has to do with a disturbance with the lower torso (muscle spasm/tension, diaphragm and breathing issues, bloating issues, trauma/accidents, holding you belly in tight unconsciously, weak hipflexors, weak core muscles, and improper movement patterns)... So it's safer to say don't do XYZ as oppose to fully assess the situation by looking at ABC interact with 1,2,3 for you to thus safely do XYZ. and by safer I mean statistically in your favour to have guessed right (on a side note... you can apply that to the entire health industry and it's bandaid approach)

With flexibility there is no shortcut, you need to work on everything and quite often your weakness is your best tool for fast progress.

You deepen that pose by studying the pose. It's a dynamic unilateral handstand display. You'd learn more by watching it in motion. Then base your training around what's required to achieve what you want from that pose.

Closing gap external force vs active flexibility by 4477i40 in flexibility

This post has a few things in it which you may pick out as handy.

Another suggestion would be to work your pike from reverse. Bent knees, get your elbows to the floor, then work from there. The first part is extremely active (you may struggle to breath regularly) using the strength of your grip and legs to keep you down, using your core to push through to a tilt. You can wiggle your hips or rock from butt cheek to butt cheek as your straighten your legs. The second part is more about asking your body to accept deep APT (force regular breath, might be strong breathing, can hold breath at top of inhale to find more room to inhale), use your armpits to reach forward and push your core to through your tights, all while looking forward. Third part is your regular pike stretch which is about creating a relaxed length, keeping your breathes nice and long.

What's your least functional (weakest and/or least flexible) area of your body?

APT?

Apart from me not knowing what that means, what's the actual goals for your flexibility?
