Stretching Tip #10 Be Careful With Injuries

If for some reason you do sustain an injury, be careful to monitor the area during your stretching. You may find that the injury may prohibit you from realizing a full stretch--this is not unusual and you should not attempt to return to your normal stretching routine until the injury has fully mended. You may also find that your physical therapist or doctor may want you to refrain from certain stretches. Additionally, you may be given some unfamiliar stretches to help in rehabilitating as you recover from your injury. Regardless of your situation, if you feel any pain consult a health professional as soon as possible.
