Basics while stretching
Stretch until you feel a mild tension that relaxes as you hold the stretch. If a stretch hurts, ease up on the extent of the stretch. Stop doing the stretch if you cannot do it without pain.Don’t jerk! Hold each stretch for up to five to 30 seconds. Breathe in slowly and deeply while you stretch and then exhale slowly.
