I'd rather just do my practice and not deal with the three-days-of-agony. <br /><br />@Susan<br />I bike around the city, but oddly enough, that doesn’t work the hamstrings much. Walking is a good idea.<br /><br />@Boodi<br />I've been through this sort of thing before, and I'm confident I'll be more open once it heals. It was interesting to note that the sports-medicine websites said this almost verbatim and noted that 'stretch and strength' would allow the muscle to heal'correctly aligned'.<br /><br />Today, Ganesha got a gummi bear!Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-30995566561258084362010-06-24T17:44:27.538-07:002010-06-24T17:44:27.538-07:00Mens holiday! :)Mens holiday! :)Boodibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947899197251310681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-53094093174367999452010-06-24T16:03:43.366-07:002010-06-24T16:03:43.366-07:00PS: I think the offering was a good idea!PS: I think the offering was a good idea!Boodibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947899197251310681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-67040687647533374742010-06-24T16:03:43.365-07:002010-06-24T16:03:43.365-07:00Non hysterical advice from an Astangi hooray! :)
...Non hysterical advice from an Astangi hooray! :)<br /><br />Ya.. I've never had a hamstring tear per se, but over all I've found working through injuries to be the best way to heal them in the opening direction, meaning once the demon is evicted I HAVE been more open. I've heard others say the same thing.<br /><br />There are different kinds of pain though, as any Astangi knows. As per last winter I have at times stopped practicing Astanga for a period of time. My right knee is still more sensitive than it was pre January tweak. I'm careful with it now. <br /><br />Sounds like you've got a good plan of action for the hammie.Boodibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947899197251310681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-307721363299472082010-06-24T14:28:30.766-07:002010-06-24T14:28:30.766-07:00I've had a pretty bad hamstring tear, I vote s...I've had a pretty bad hamstring tear, I vote stretch and strengthen! Walking lots is actually one of the best things you can do to strengthen it, in my opinion. And then just carrying on with practice, the way you are.susanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608125527941228200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-40865445795978576132010-06-24T06:53:44.281-07:002010-06-24T06:53:44.281-07:00dear Kai
