Question

Answer
Heyy Angie,
  It sounds like you pulled a muscle and just stretching is going to help. Pulled muscles take a while to heal .. make sure from now on you stretch before you do your splits so you dont pull a muscle again
HOPE I HELPED!!
sincerly,

Expertise

I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
