Hi,
I've just bought and read Pavel's new book. It's brilliant and I love it. I would like to get some additional information about the following quote: "Don’t put your spine into flexion during or after training. Forward-bending stretches and slouching after training, harmless as these seem, could injure your back.
Unless counter-indicated, back-bending stretches are recommended following training."
Does anyone know why forward bending is so problematic but backward bending is ok? And why does he suggest not do flex the spine after training and then later in the book mentions that relaxed stretch using 90/90 strech and QL-straddle is ok?
Cheers
