I’m not a serious ballet dancer, I started adult ballet but I’ve had to give it up because of getting long covid. Unfortunately I’ve had a similar experience, not exactly losing flexibility but I’ve had terrible problems with old injuries and especially an old knee injury. I got a massage and I was shocked to find that my calves and quads were just this tight knot, my body has never been like this before. I have a gymnast friend with long covid who just lost loads of her flexibility.
There’s lots of theories, both me and my friend have been diagnosed with this thing called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and the interesting thing about mast cells is that they are a white blood cell, so part of the immune system, and they are in all our connective tissues. We don’t really think of our muscles and connective tissues as being affected by the immune system but they are.
I don’t really have loads of advice because I can’t exercise at all right now but one thing that’s helped my tight spots is one of those massagers (like this https://www.amazon.com/Shiatsu-Back-Shoulder-Neck-Massager/dp/B07G142F9Z/ ) My friend swears on epson salt baths.
