Hi there,

there is a lot of debate in the literature regarding the use of stretching. In your case what will be important is to go at the limit that you can feel the stretch however no pain sensation or ripping should be experienced. On the other hand you could use dynamic stretch meaning you can try a lunge however the should be with the same approach as i mentioned above. So do partial then start increase the depth and perhaps speed if comfortable.

Neurospast though touched some important issues that you may want to have a look at. ou may cause your self a lot of pain perfoming exercises without proper treatment prescription whatever that may be.

Despite that in this site we just provide a guide to thinking and perhaps some explantions i would like to emphasize that webbie diagnosis and exercise prescription cant be accurate. Having a appointment to a Dr or GSR or physio or osteopath or ATC allows them to assess constaly the exercise performance and allow to further expand the prescription none the less we may found in our constant assessment that things may require to visit a surgeon or another health allied profession. On the other hand if you not happy with your physio or Dr you always have the option to visit another for a second opinion.
