Jim Martin Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Damn, I'm in really good shape and never thought learning the EUC would mess me up physically, but it has. I workout and run daily. In particular there are mornings after practicing riding the EUC where I have really bad pain running down my dominate butt into my leg down to my foot. I know it's because I'm learning and my form is all jacked up and I'm tense, so this pain will hopefully go away once my form improves. Anyway, I've found these stretches help. I think the pain is being caused by the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve. Hope this helps someone else. https://www.spine-health.com/video/sciatica-exercises-piriformis-syndrome-video?jwsource=cl Edited May 31, 2019 by Jim Martin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippe_kruse Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/workouts-does-stretching-help Stretching isn't what it's made out to be. You are probably experiencing a placebo effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eucinsea Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have stretched out every morning for over a year using the "daily stretches" in the Stretching book by Bob Anderson. It has helped me in many ways, and once I started learning EUC I felt it helping with the new muscle movements that I was experiencing. https://stretching.com/30th-anniversary-stretching-book I also meditate after I stretch, but that's for a different thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
