The multiple stresses of contemporary life--whether from excessive
sports play, overwork, or overuse of technology--are increasingly
taking a toll on the body. Symptoms range from muscle soreness and
pain to pinched nerves to potentially more permanent disabilities,
including serious body injuries. One safe, quickly productive way
to address the problem is through a simple therapy that can be done
anywhere, anytime, and without special equipment: stretching. This
new edition of Brad Walker's best-selling book on the subject
presents 135 unique stretching exercises designed to help repair
the body and make it more flexible, fit, and relaxed.
The book begins with clear, detailed descriptions of important
principles of anatomy and physiology, the benefits of stretching,
different forms of stretching, rules to remember, and how to
stretch properly. It also focuses on the kinds of stretches that
are most helpful in the alleviation or rehabilitation of specific
sports injuries. Organized by body part, "The Anatomy of Stretching
"presents stretching exercises in a uniform style accompanied by
full-color anatomical illustrations. Equally useful for fitness
fans, pro or amateur athletes, coaches and personal trainers, and
healthcare practitioners, this new edition contains 20 new
stretches; expanded physiology and anatomy information; and a
revised numbering system that makes the stretches easier to
reference. An expanded appendix includes a longer resources section
and a helpful chart describing the top five stretches for each
sport and sports injury.
