We’re dynamic creatures, and we aren’t supposed to sit for eight or 10 hours at a time. If you look at our muscularity, we’re meant to be lower down, in a hunched position. By sitting all day, you’re shortening the iliopsoas [a powerful muscle group that flexes the hip and the trunk], and when you try to stand up, it can cause a lot of discomfort [in the back muscles, which are forced to constantly pull back to keep the spine straight].

If we looked at the musculature, we might say, hey, listen, it’s really short and tight, so let’s reduce that tightness [with manual therapies designed to loosen up muscles and break up scar tissue] to improve pain. If we took that conservative [step] first, along with stretching and strengthening, we wouldn’t have to look at the structural problems. Now I’m talking about the vague back pain so many people have, not something potentially serious.

Do you recommend stretching to prevent pain or muscle problems?
Instead of generally asking “to stretch, or not to stretch,” the question should be: Should you stretch for a particular condition, and if so, what kind? For example, static stretching [traditional stretching, bringing the muscle right to the end of its range of motion and holding it for 20 or 30 seconds] really seems to have its place in post-surgical rehab for injuries to the capsule [a sleeve of collagen surrounding a joint], for example, in the hip joint or shoulder joint. It can really break up post-surgical scars. It can also really increase the flexibility of the joint capsule for people who need it, like ballet dancers or gymnasts. [The book notes that static stretching for most athletes has not been shown to be particularly helpful in reducing injury or boosting performance.]

Dynamic stretches [which incorporate movement to bring blood to the area; an example is simply moving your outstretched arms from the front to the side and back, crisscrossing in front of the chest] are great for people who want a little more flexibility before a run, for example. They’re also a great progression to a more active role after surgery. I’d rather see athletes do no stretching at all rather than the wrong stretch. I’d rather see them warm up really well, doing their activity for 10 to 15 minutes at a very low level.

I love these oils and creams before and after the stretching. And Levona Stress Relief Bath Emulsion is the best thing in this world before you go to sleep.
