I'm a HUGE believer in the impact of our daily posture on our athletic performance... or just daily functioning! I've learned the hard way in that I think mine has caught up with me and I'm having to do a lot of things differently recently.
Can you be more specific about the stretches? Any pictures?
There's not a foam roller at my pool... should I do these before I leave? I thought about using the foam "noodle" as a roller... that would be worth a chuckle!
