Stretching is not accomplished by exercise. It takes deliberate stretching to stretch muscles and tendons. Consult web sources on stretching, yoga or the like and see what you can find. Remember that stretching should not hurt, and it takes timein the stretch for it to be effective. A two-minute stretch is more than twice as effective as a one-minute stretch. Three minutes is even better. Particularly when coming off injury or surgery. Consult your physician for guidelines. An gym instructor may be able to help, too. If you have a memebership somewhere, now is the time to grab some benefits. Maybe you can get a two or four week "freebie" as a newbie. Look into it. Good luck.
