Todays Flexibility Tip: Pain=Stop! Stretching is all about balance. You should aim for an intense, steady pull with your stretches- a feeling of discomfort -but there shouldn’t be any real pain. If you feel pain, or the tightness isn’t easing, it means that you’re holding the stretch with too much tension; you need to relax the muscle and repeat the stretch with less tension. If you ever feel any sharp pain, stop immediately.
