CMT Exercise Series, Part 5: Stretching

Created by physiotherapist Rebekah Lee, the seven-part CMT Exercise Series focuses on functional improvement for those living with CMT.
Disclaimer: Before beginning a new exercise regimen, first consult with your physician or physical therapist. No two people are alike, and one exercise program is not right for everyone. We recommend showing these exercises to your physical therapist and working together to create a program tailored to you!

Love these stretches. Since my diagnosis of CMT1 in March this year, I have focused on stretching on most days. I love it, especially hamstring and calf stretches like the ones Rebekah shows.

hi my name is Andy I have CMT it went undiagnosed for 7 years I used to try to do a lot of different stretches to make the muscles loose again it would work for about 15 minutes and then I would have five times the pain and cramping and spasming sometimes my ex-wife would massage my muscles like I said it would work for about 15 minutes that would be okay and then it would totally blow up intense pain 5 times what it was before
