I do several stretches pointed out as no-nos in that article. I have a little routine that I always do, much of which I borrowed from Janet Evans' book. But after reading that I'm thinking I might just quit stretching altogether.

Wow, after reading the article that qbrain posted, it makes me curious. #1,any stretch that involves pulling on my head to stretch my neck makes me nervouse as heck. Seems like it's too easy to overdo it/misuse it. #2, I'm a recent college grad (since this article came out), and in my Kinesiology Swimming class, she still had us doing 2 out of the 3 no-no's. Now granted, I had no respect for that professor, as she was really just a glorified PE teacher who thought she was a college professor, but I can't believe that in a college atmosphere, they wouldn't be up to date enough in their knowledge to know that those stretches were now off limits!
