We should stretch more. I tried w-sitting recently and it felt like I was an 80 year old with sizzling bones.
I was doing a daily stretch and touching my toes but coughed in the middle of it. I popped so much in my back, it felt amazing
But, you can do that.
Precisely once!
No? I wasn’t making a joke, humans can stretch like that.
I have actually managed to unfuck my back at some point, by doing a motion like the cat on the right. 🥴
how long did it take you to refuck it?
I, uh, haven’t yet. 😅
I’m not sure, what it’s called in English. In German, we have the sexy term “Lendenwirbelsäulenblockade” for it.
The internet tells me that it might be a “lumbar vertebral subluxation” in English, although that Wikipedia article sounds a lot more like quackery than my German impression of it. It might also be a “lumbar blockage”…?But basically, one of the many joints in the spine for some reason loses its ability to move. And often times, the solution is to apply a bit of force, to get it unstuck. You *should* talk to a professional about this, or at least a chiropractor, because force won’t always be the correct solution.
But yeah, if you ignore those safety instructions, what you can do, is to slowly move your back into the position that the right cat is in (while on your knees and hands). Then slowly arch your back into the other direction. At some point, you might hear a pop, as the joint regains its ability to move and then that’s that.
In yoga we call this the cat/cat pose.
I see the first one as a fair approximation of downward dog, which begs the question as to why we don’t refer to it as downward cat?
Cats dont come back up, lazy shits
Dogs do the same. They do it even better, because they’re dogs!
At least that’s what my dogs say.
Tried it, did crack, not in a good way.
