The point about our way of sitting being a position of minimal stretch is one I hadn't really thought of (not to mention the position most people put their spines in while sitting...), as well as contrasting this with traditional ways.<br /><br />When your muscles aren't stretched regularly, they shorten. When you then try to push into end-range, you get an injury due to over-stretching. Changing the way people sit could have a massive effect on the frequency of injuries, especially in sportsmen and -women. <br /><br />I'll bear that in mind for when I start practice.Rod the Wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294085301415033499noreply@blogger.com
