Yeah, of the 90 mins, 30 of them were "uh, uh".

Is there a difference from what he terms a "stretch" to normal day to day movement?
I would think so. In day to day life, you don't hold those positions for very long, and you only carry them as far as needed. In intentional stretching, people might hold a stretch for 30 seconds or longer, and they might consciously or unconsciously put a fair amount of force in the stretch, often using an arm to pull the body part further. That seems very different than ordinary usage, right?

I may ask my PT to torture me and see what happens.
I have not and would also love to hear from anyone that has. Also, if anyone is in the midwest, I hereby volunteer them to go get treated by Stoxen and report back the results.
