In my experience forcing a pose definitely can cause an issue. If she persists yes you might be better getting a different one.

I've been told I have (or had?) tight calves and hamstrings years ago. I don't know the difference between tight and stiff or if I still have this problem.

To warm up a bit, I sit in the sauna at the gym for just a minute or two. Since I'm claustrophobic I can't stand it there long, esp. since it's always crowded.

I'm moderately active but being told to do more exercise will just make it feel more like a chore. Then I'd quit doing it.

I agree with Discomb, that if she's forcing it then wave good bye.

That "no pain", no gain" is a myth. And it's counterintuitive to do something that hurts.
