It's exceedingly important to stretch after you exercise to bring your muscle back to their lengthened position. After we workout, our muscles are shortened and in a tighter state from when we initiated our workout. Make sure you are stretching an area for 2 sets of 30 seconds at least once a day.

Contraindications to strerching are:

  • Bony block
  • Recent fractures
  • Acute inflammation/infection in joint
  • Sharping/acute pain with movement
  • Hematoma or trauma
  • Selective shortening

Always check with your doctor to find out if it is safe for you to stretch. For the safest method of stretching, don't move past your natural range of motion and make certain you aren't feeling abnormal pain in the area being stretched. Also, don't bounce into the stretch. Hold it steady and slowly deepen the hold of the stretch. You should feel comfortably challenged while stretching and not experiencing pain.

What does contraindication mean in reference to steroids?

Indication means a reason to do something, and contra means against. So a contraindication is a reason to not do something. In terms of medications, it is the term for reasons a certain medication cannot be used. It is also important to remember there are two different types of contraindications, absolute and relative. In an absolute contraindication the medication cannot be given to that patient. In relative contraindications, the doctor needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons, because though the medication has serious drawbacks, it may still be an overall benefit to the patient. In the particular case of steroids, it means reasons the person cannot be given steroids.
