Pain In Knee From Straddles!
I know there is a thread floating around about this, but I could not find it. I get this pain in my left knee after stretching for my straadles. It usually hangs around a day or 2 then is gone. It is pretty strong today. The pain is localized to the top inside of my left knee. ANy ideas or suggestions to help this not happen? Stretches I do go in this order: Sit in straddles. Sit in straddles while pulling up on my heel. Slide hands straight down on the floor while in straddles. Floor Froggies. Wall Straddles. Thanks for any suggestions!

Could be a few things. First I don't suggest pulling up on the heel while in straddles, the could strain the knee for sure. Also check your hip rotation during your straddle work. I just made a video and will be posting sometime today, it should help give a visual on hip rotation and middle splits.

This is surprising to hear about the heel lift while in straddles. I was actually following a stretching DVD!!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif I will keep that in mind for sure. I started taking a vitamin for joints today as well because knee issues and surgeries run in my family. Mom just had both replaced at one time and she is only in her 50s. I will look for your video. Thanks so much for your advice!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
