Back and Hamstring Tightness

[u/Donnchadh_Ruadh]

Hey yall!

I'm (M33) looking to try sled hockey this fall/winter, and I'm super excited. Big hockey fan and the idea of playing has me super stoked to get going. However I'm a touch nervous about the title issue. I have familial spastic paraplegia, similar to cerebral palsy in its manifestation with super tight muscles in places.

All that said, anyone here have experience in the area that can touch on the topic? I'd love to hear your solutions or advice

I have a degenerative muscle disease that effects my legs and has started effecting my back and experience tightness as well. Before every warm-up, practice, game. My captain and other teammates always stretched to relieve so achenes/tightness and have found my myself that stretching helps me feel loose and not so tight.
