To pretty pixie thanks so much for your messages in Nov 2018. It was super encouraging and helped a lot â¤ï¸

Update: its been around 7 months since i tore my hamstring. Im more flexible than ever before (went up from 3 blocks pre-injury to 5 yesterday for oversplits) on both legs. Unfortunately my right hip (same hip as torn hamstring) still sometimes hurt a lot, and some nights the pain is so bad it wakes me up. To get my flexibility back I started doing super gentle mobility/active flexibility training a week in. After that i gradually incorporated more passive stretching and slooooowwwllly pushed more. I was super careful not to push past any sharp pain. As for the constant random hip pain, massage has been helping, and when it gets too expensive a lacrosse ball is magical. To everyone reading this, if you’ve torn something please please be patient. It’ll be okay, it just takes a while. I was in tears because the day after I couldn’t straighten my leg and i was scared i can never pole again. I was back at it after 3 weeks, and got my splits (square-ish on the floor) after about 2 months.

Pretty pixie, you said you stretched 3-5 days a week- how long after the injury was this and how many months of stretching until you got your splits back?

Thank you Pretty Pixie â¤ï¸ Thats very encouraging. I cant believe it took 8-9 months! I read the thread and i know its been a few years since your injury- im really glad youre okay now. It sounded really bad when it happened 😔. Its been 4 days and i can walk now, still not over it but im glad that a lot of pole dancers go through this and make it out okay â¤ï¸

People that tore their hamstring (2nd degree strain): how long did it take to get your flexibility back?
I had my splits and tore my hamstring doing the russian splits this morning and now i can’t even straighten it. Im absolutely terrified I’ll lose my flexiblity. Did anyone ever regain their flexibility completely?
