a stretching breakthrough

I am thrilled because I have reached my goal of little or no pain every day, working or not. My breakthrough came because I am starting to run out of time to do the entire complement of stretches that have caused me so much relief. What I did was, I picked the stretch or stretches that seem to help me the most and I did it for longer, but did not do any other stretches. For example, if I am stretching my head to each side, instead of doing three stretches for five seconds each on each side, I would start out with 5 seconds, stretch to the other side, then increase the time to 10 seconds, then 20 seconds, then 40 seconds, then 80 seconds - then done. I haven't even had the time to repeat the stretches in the evening most times - and I still feel fantastic.

I don't think this would have worked in the beginning, but now that I know how to feel the stretch and my fascia is much looser it seems to work like a charm. yay!
