But the pain has to be something bearable<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amelia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you are stretching after an intense workout or the day after you did some strength exercise you haven\u2019t done before, you are going to feel pain during stretching. If you haven\u2019t done it strenuous, you should not feel pain if you\u2019re stretching properly. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sofia B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">As far as I can say stretch pain should be so slight that you can easily take it and after 5 to 10 breaths it becomes less or go away. So you never should feel sharp pain. If you only begin stretching do it little by little, without fanatism.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kate E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">if it hurts a little bit but not a ton, then you\u2019re good. if it hurts a lot and it feels like the pain goes deep, stop and let up a bit. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Charlie C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Stretching will feel tight,  uncomfortable,  sometimes it might even feel like its burning a bit. But if it&#39;s a sharp pain, ease out of the stretch back to a place where it&#39;s more tolerable.  You don&#39;t have to be super bendy for stretching to help and flexibility will improve over time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marjorie U.
