Mainly, you need to make sure you've done a few light stretches on your arms and legs before you bowl. Aim for about 5 stretches, mixing them up each time, of arm and leg stretches. This should help you out. I'm sure that if you asked around, you would be able to find out different types of stretches you can do. Just remember not to do anything too strenous, because you might do yourself an injury before you start.

Hope this helps

Remember that stretching useless if you haven't warmed up first. Thankfully, warming up for bowling isn't that hard. Everytime before I do a full approach I do a couple of warm-up shots. Pick up your ball, and just walk slowly and deliver the ball. I do at least three of these before I do a full approach. Do these, maybe one or two full shots. Then do some basic stretches. Remember to also stretch areas around the trouble area. When I had lower back problems it wasn't cos of my back muscle, rather the muscles in my butt and Quads were too tight and made my back overwork to reach the movement I needed. So for your knees stretch your lower and upper legs and for the shoulder stretch your arms and sides of body. Also, if you only bowl once a week, you might want to try these 3-4 times a week. Once a week won't be enough to make the muscles more flexible and stronger.

Hope this helps and doesn't confuse anyone.

Later Da Cowman!
