Subject: 4.4.3 - Risk
Although a stretch may be very effective in terms of providing the athlete with ample leverage and isolation, the potential risk of injury from performing the stretch must be taken into consideration. Once again, `SynerStretch?Create' says it best:
Even an exercise offering great leverage and isolation may be a
candidate for the discard pile - because many otherwise good stretches
subject joints to potentially injurious stresses. Some of these
exercises may involve rotations that can strain ligaments or tendons.
Others put pressure on vertebral disks and can lead to lower back
problems (like the classic backbend exercise). Still others call for
twists or turns that can cause problems in areas unrelated to the
stretch.
