What are the best stretches for injury recovery?

The best stretches for injury recovery often depend on the type of injury. Can you specify which area you're focusing on?

I have a hamstring injury. What stretches should I do?

For a hamstring injury, gentle stretches like the standing hamstring stretch and seated forward bend can be beneficial. Would you like to know how to perform them?

Yes, please explain how to do those stretches.

Sure! For the standing hamstring stretch, stand tall, then bend at the hips and reach towards your toes while keeping your knees slightly bent. Hold for 15-30 seconds. For the seated forward bend, sit with your legs extended, reach forward towards your toes, and hold the position. Remember to breathe deeply!

How often should I do these stretches during recovery?

It's generally recommended to do these stretches 2-3 times a day, but listen to your body and avoid pushing through pain.
