How does stretching or rolling muscles out help them feel better?
In: Biology
Maybe someone can help me with a life long issue: I was born early and got sepsis 3 days after birth. It ruined the growth plate in the right leg. Long story short: the knee and femur were deformed and did not grow in length on its own. So I’ve had years of limb lengthening surgery to correct it.
Issue is, due to still not being long enough, and all the muscle scarring, I can’t bend my leg past 75 degrees. This is such a hassle. I want to know, if rolling these muscles may help. Like, what exactly is the issue with these muscles? They are weak, and seemingly can’t bend. But also when I do sorta force the leg to bend I feel a massive stretch in my quads.
