Hi
I was stretching in single split position the other day and pushed abit too hard on my right thigh to straighten up - I then heard a click, not like a bone click, but from the top of the muscle near the buttock.
Now it is very hard to even do simple stretches on that leg and kicks really arent possible without a small warm up, especially back kicks.
I just wanted to know what you guys would recommend I do to try and get back on track.....should i slowly continue to stretch it back to normal? Give it a rest without any use? Do exercises relating to that muscle to help strengthen it? A mixture?
Please, anything you could recommend because I dont seem to be making any progress here
Lunges and squats seem to target that muscle quite well, and stance work would probably be ok too, I can bare to do these, it doesnt hurt, it just feels strained. But stretching as I used to is just not possible yet.
Thanks in anticipation.
