All of the stretching I do lately involves movement. The reason for this is simple, holding a stretch flare's me up, even after more than a year of stretching. Not just my upper body, but my legs will flare up just the way my arms do. Things like the doorway stretch, where you press your arms against the doorway, I don't do. I never try to stretch against a solid object like that, it just doesn't work for me.

I do some stretches standing, some sitting, and some lying down. All of the intu-flow exercises are done standing. I just move the area I'm stretching to the edge of the pain 3 or 4 times, never to far. I go to the pain, not through the pain. I'm just trying to shave off small areas of tension. It's much better to stretch an area many times throughout the day gently, then to push too hard and cause a flare up. I also try to stretch the tight area from as many different angles as possible. The circular movements I've learned from intu-flow are great for this.
