When I try to stretch my hamstrings with straight legs sitting down, how come I have trouble trying to sit on my tailbone with my legs straight? There is another flexibility problem I have noticed as well. When I try to stretch my side muscles on a stability ball for example, I can feel the stretch in my side/QL when bending to the right, but I feel no stretch bending to the left in my side/QL. same thing with neck rotation - turning to the right is easier than turning to the left., but both sides are still not where its flexibility should be.
Anyone know where there are imbalances there? The neck issue, I have been trying to massage, roll (rhomboids, top of shoulder, massage neck with fingers or top of chair, etc) for a while now and it is not improving at all. I even roll my chest, that doesnt help but just loosen my shoulders. Neck rotation restriction is hurting me badily in sports like soccer and softball going back for balls coming straight towards me going over my head. I can never catch balls straight over my head because of it.
