Overflexibility causing injuries
Hello,
I recently saw a, er, musculoskeletal physiotherapist (I think that was it...) (NHS) about a problem I was having where my finger curls inwards. I was told I am too flexible (like hypermobility, but not that bad) and it can cause injuries, so I had probably damaged a nerve in my wrist which caused that problem (and others I had been having in my wrists). Just a bit of background information, anyway...
What I was wondering about is that I have just started doing proper exercise for the first time in my life and I know you're usually supposed to stretch afterwards to maintain/improve flexibility. My understanding is that I have too much already... so, should I avoid stretching?
(Also, regarding my profile, I don't actually have a degree, but it made me choose a country for it, so...)
