Or find the strength to grasp or twist. I can clearly remember laying flat on my back, on top of a very large ice pack, with other ice packs strategically placed over the rest of my sore muscles. I think that was last week... Mars, I’m impressed that you could reach for the Advil. Or find the strength to grasp or twist.

As far as stretches go pigeon and the laying-on-back-spinal-twist are my current favs. My first thoughts when reading this were along the line of Mars’: I was pretty convinced during the first month at IC that muscle relaxants should have been handed out with enrollment.

Also spinal twists while lying on the ground. And the one where you grab your opposite elbow and raise it over your head, to stretch the triceps. Well, that figure-4/pigeon stretch is very good.
