Soften your knees (kink them slightly), and distribute your weight evenly around the perimeter of both feet. This will help you maintain your balance, and relax into your stretch. It is also very important to remember that in this partucular stretch, you are actually just hanging and waiting for the muscles of the low back and back of leg to relax and slowly extend on their own. You need to stay in this relaxed position for at least 30 seconds, and do it at least 2 times a day. Of course if any part of the stretch causes discomfort you will not get the full benefit of the stretch. So you need to back off, and find a comfortable position. A good stretch does not require you to use any force - just gravity or another part of the body. And even if your discomfort only allows you the slightest stretch, this is still a good enough start. If any bending at all causes pain, place your hands on a table or other suitable item to support the upper body and get it to relax. Another trick is to use moist heat as in a hot shower, jacuzzi, sauna etc. This softens and relaxes the muscle, making the stretch more comfortable and enjoyable. |
