hahahaha
i get to pay back the favor for that wonderful workout you wrote for me.
as a basis, each night when you go to bed, in h edge of yoru mattress, put one foot on the floor aand the other flat on the bed, and stretch that hamstring for 10 slow breaths, and then the other side. Once you get better at it, you can start putting pillow under your foot, it iwll increase the stretch.
at your office, PE coaches have an office I believe, let yourself settle into a straight out sideways split, while you chat on the phone or computer and stuff. As your groin gets looser you will find much better motion in your hamstrings. (martial arts trick)
ok... for your bands and hip flexor. work on the half pigeon pose, and then the full pigeon pose a couple of times a week. When you advance t a King pigeon please post a pic-- LOL.
work on downward hamstroing stretches, the gravity helps alot. just like in high school, cross your feet and stretch those bad boys.
cross one leg over the other knee and do a single leg squat, have somehting to hold onto.
once you get your hamstrings nice and lose, work on the downwar facing dog pose. it can be very painful with tight hammies so this is a later stretch.
worst comes to worse--- go see an ART (active release treatment) doc.
BUT- EVO--- i gotta tell ya... the one final stretch on each Hamstring just before you sleep every day is the basis for full living recovery. i spent alot of money and a lot of time to learn that. All ov my treatment started wth having had that skydiving accident. i may also add-
you walking around holding those heavy tube thingys is tuff on the hip joint- which is where your Sciatic nerve travels thru. if you are confusing sciatic nerve with hip flexor you can make things worse. the sciatic (or sciatica condition)- can be corrected with a cycle of anti-inflamatories)
p.s. i can bend straight over an put the back of my hands flat on the ground, touch my face to my knees, and nearly do the splits.
over and out- DR. T.
if you want to talk on the phone about all this. shoot me a pm and i will give ya my number.
here is the pigeon pose-- easy does it brother!
downward facing dog--- easy does it man!! this thing can make you sore for days... slight bend in knees is fine... completion of the pose is not important, the stretch is. work your way up to completion.
na dof course the deep resting lunge is great for resting your hips flexer and outer bands.
wheeeeew!
that is all
