Thanks for the input. I have never been flexible, which no doubt has caused me a lot of issues over the years. I seen a chiropractor in AZ that treated a lot of power lifters. He gave me this stretching regimen. Took close to an hour. Did it religiously every day for 6 months. Some days I would stretch 3 times. After the 6 months was up he remeasured me...gained very little range of motion. Thing that makes me laugh is my dad never stretched yet he could stand on a 4x4 and touch his palms to the ground.
Thing that has me more then a bit concerned is a loss of range of motion with a fusion. That and L5 is herniated, into my spinal cord causing a lot of sciatic pain. The simulator masks all of it though. I am heading to PT here shortly, will talk with them about stretches. I have not seen my Massage Therapist in a couple of weeks, there was a water main break in the area....but next time I see her I am going to talk with her about this.
