    Cool thanks Kait
    I still felt good the next day almost back to norm
    Then I went to the gym and did all sorts of rolling around on a foam roller and stretching and I still felt good
    Then I carried some cement bags down to the garage
    I didn’t feel anything but later I could feel the tightness around my stomach is back
    Not as bad but its back
    I felt around my upper abs and if I tense them I can feel a vertical line of muscle form right in the middle
    So I googled that and found all this info on the rectus abdominus muscle
    And how that can separate in people!
    I can’t feel any gap and its not sticking out but I can feel this line of muscle clearly
    If I push into that I can feel that tightness feeling worsen
    This is right where my problem feels too
    And apparently those medicine ball situps are a test to indicate damage to this muscle
    There is no way I could do even 1 rep now, where I could do 50 before
    So I was wondering if you have some videos on this muscle specifically

    Any tips appreciated
    Thanks David D

    My GP usually just says to stop doing what im doing which is prob good advice lol
    Just an update
    Last night after watching Kellys video I gave that a go
    I tried rolling a tennis ball on the hip flexor area
    I just did it for 5-10 minutes and I was laying on a mattress too so I dont think i was doing much

    I didn’t feel any immediate effect
    But this morning I feel 100x beter
    I can barely feel any tightness and I dont think I curled up as much when I slept
    I layed straighter for the most part
    So maybe by relaxing the hip area a bit it put less pressure on the whole muscle
    And then sleeping a bit straighter just lengthened it out
    And thats why I feel better right now
    Its too early to tell so Ill let you know tommorrow if i really feel better or im just imagining it
    Peace David D
