Prepared by an international authority, Therapeutic Stretching:
Towards a Functional Approach offers a highly accessible account of
the latest information regarding the role of therapeutic stretching
in the management of restricted range of movement (ROM) disorders.
Richly illustrated throughout, this exciting new volume covers the
physiological basis of stretching, explores its classification and
examines what is normal and abnormal in terms of ROM. Chapters then
explain the processes that are associated with ROM loss and
recovery as well as what makes stretching effective. The experience
of pain, sensitization and pain tolerance in relation to stretching
and ROM recovery are also discussed. Embracing the latest
scientific research, this revolutionary book debunks many
traditionally accepted stretching theories and associated
techniques and supplants them with a more robust, scientifically
valid system of practice. Accompanied by a range of practical
on-line videos and over 150 photographs, this volume will be ideal
for all manual and physical therapists, sports and personal
trainers, and athletes who require special movement ranges. "This
is a highly enjoyable and well presented book that I recommend for
any clinician from student to experienced practitioner. It is
suitable for all physiotherapists, manual therapists, sports
physiotherapists/therapists, strength and conditioning coaches,
sports scientists, athletes and patients who would like to
understand, recover and improve their range and ease of movement."
