I've read lots of similar threads on the web about making sure you warm up before stretching, otherwise it can be "bad for you".

But, does this apply to stretches that are prescribed as part of a rehabilitation program?

It's just at the moment I suffer from three things: improper left shoulder mechanics, pain up the right side of my body, particularly in my right hip, and left patellar tendinopathy.

It is hard for me to "warm up" because I can't go for a little jog or do any kind of exercise that gets the blood flowing.

Every day I spend an hour stretching, but I do it from cold. I'm not sure whether it is helping or hindering my symptoms.
