Blew out my knee after 8 years of stretching wrong...
Was at a job in Tulsa last month, doing a full basement with thick pad. Felt a pop in my knee getting up from a kneeling stretch. My chiropractor watched me stretch one day and asked why I was locking my leg backwards. Turns out for 8 years I was overextending my knee instead of stretching my hamstring. No wonder I was always sore by Wednesday. Anyone else find out they were doing basic body mechanics wrong way too late?

...and the scary part is most of us never even think about how we're using our bodies until something breaks. I spent years cracking my neck to one side before a physical therapist told me I was basically grinding bone against bone. It's wild how something as simple as stretching can be totally wrong and you'd never know until you're hobbling around...

Wait is it really that bad to crack your neck?
