ive been very unflexible my whole life, especially in my legs and groin. i have been distance running and playing football very heavily from 16 years old - 23 years old. I am now 24.
I recently started yoga classes and realised how terribley inadequate my flexibility is.
I cant remember the last time i could touch my toes with straight legs, maybe 9 years old or something? I cant even sit cross legged on the floor comfortably. I have to strain my hip and back muscles to keep me stable.
I am not overweight, i am slim and muscular and view myself as considerably fit.
I just recently connected the dots however- are these are signs of a very tight Pelvic floor?? i know theyre not directly pelvic floor but my hamstrings and groin are extremely tight. When i sit in a certain position, espeically if it is slightly asymmetrical, for long periods of time then i stand up and my hip joints ache very badly.
I cant comfortable squat to 90°, when i do the hindi squat i have to be assisted with my back against a wall (a question in itself - is this still a legit stretch?). when i do a 3 minute hindi squat i stand up and my hips and knees are in agony for 5 minutes.
Perhaps the key for me is just a tonne of l
Pelvic floor stretching?? what do you think?
If RK is not a contraction movement, it is a relaxation movement then this explains a lot. I struggle greatly with them and i have to focus and strain just to perform them. When i am peeing i struggle to speed up the urine flow unless its a really big pee.
does this shed any light on my specific case or anyone elses?? or is this a red herring? thank you
