patient advice

[Guest guest]

I just read that recent studies have shown that stretching before exercise

actually increases the chance of injuries. Many experts are now advising

to do one's stretching at a different time from aerobics or strength

training. However, one should still warm up to full capacity. I know it

has become such common advice to advise stretching to patients with

musculoskeletal complaints. If we are also doing acupuncture and

herbology, it is important to be aware of factors that might inhibit

treatment or exacerbate the illness. Anyone out there seen these studies

and have opinions?
