While your inability to touch your toes remains an outspoken cry about the lack of flexibility of your muscles, several factors contribute to this. To make things worse, the touches are not only a measure of how limber you can be but can also be a measure of the state of your overall health. The toe touch is an essential measure of flexibility in your hips and leg muscles. No matter how hard you seem to try, folding your body seems impossible.
To make matters worse, straining too far seems to wake a mildly throbbing pain that fires through your legs and back. It might seem unfair that the standing toe touch comes easily to many while you cannot reach far enough.
