I have multiple spinal injuries, fusions and so on plus damaged sciatic nerve yet I push my vehicles a little bit every day because of my too tight parking situation .
I'm looking forward to trying the stretching .

On the flat is not a big deal. In this little parking lot, the place I wanted to push it to was a tiny bit uphill, and it doesn’t take much incline when you’re pushing the car to make it really hard. I don’t think that one episode ruined my life, but it didn’t help.
I was pretty hard on my body as a young man, played basketball on many a concrete court. The Salvation Army youth club job I had for my CO service Had a concrete court covered with linoleum tiles. And I played on way too many playgrounds with either concrete or asphalt. Beats the bloody hell out of your cartilage, but since you’re young and tough you don’t really notice it that much. Back in the 60s and 70s, it was not uncommon for an NBA player who was still pretty good to have weak knees from too much play on concrete as a kid. Concrete courts were pretty common back when.
If I am really lucky, this whole episode will resolve through much yoga, and it will have been a wake up call for me that pays dividends.
