I'm finding that the muscles surrounding my left hip are very tight after walking round with a prolapsed disc for 2 years. I'm doing lots of no-stirrup work but as soon as I take my stirrups back they tighten up again (unfortunately I can't really canter stirrup-less as the pony isn't balanced enough in the downwards transition and flings me out of the saddle which unsettles him). I'm also drawing that leg up because the muscles are tight.
What exercises do you do to loosen up before/during/after riding? Also are there any stretches I can do on a Swiss ball?
Many thanks
