It would be helpful for you to look into specific stretches that can help the muscles around the affected joints and that won\u2019t be too intense. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karen F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes!

When performing certain stretch positions, it is better to grasp or hold your muscle rather than a joint.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maria P.
