Wow that stretch at 1:30 stretches where I have a recurring muscle pull. Thanks

hi

i wanted to know when can i see flexibility results after starting to use myofascial release

[revolutioncondition]

@alonsh1987 you will see some immediate results - the same way you do after stretching, but you will really notice that your muscles have way fewer knots or trigger points after about 3-6 weeks. I hope that answers your question.

Cheers,

Maria

Ok the stand up groin stretch and upper body twist I can do, but wow, I can't hold my legs together and seperate my feet anymore than maybe 10 inches. Any attempt standing up and slowly lowering into a butterfly position ends with my lower legs being parallel to eachother instead of V shaped. Given I've just started practicing, I will continue to try this daily and see if I have any improved results, but as of now, I have serious doubts about my legs inner rotation abilities.

@IrishDragonAOF Go very slowly with it - there can be bony issues which prevent you from getting as much hip internal rotation as the next guy so do not force the movements. You should just go to the point of a gentle stretch (even if that is hardly anything). If you feel 'pinching' in the joint you are overdoing it and if that pinching persists you may want to get your hips assessed by a good/great sport physio.

@CODLAKAI97 - sorry guy, that is the voice I was born with can't do much about it. Have no idea what you mean about the legs comment.

@murderdoll9191 I think consistency is the key - so I think if you start with about 15-20 minutes but do them everyday that is better than doing 60 minutes three times per week. So start with 15-20 minutes six days per week (you can take one day off). Remember, don't try to force your stretches - just give it time. Thanks for the question.

Cheers,

Maria

@hiller1957 - awesome! Always looking for ways to help, so it is great to hear feedback like this! I am in Ontario, Canada - but I love NYC - I would love to spend a month every year there if I could - then I would be happy to hop on the rail and work with you in Long Island - thanks!

Cheers,
