Book Reviews of Stretching Anatomy
Book Review: Great For Massage Therapists
Summary: 5 Stars
As a L&NCTMB, I use this book with clients almost daily. It is clear, concise, & addressess various ability/skill levels. The muscles are easy to differentiate. Isolated muscles stretches as well as muscle group stretches are what this book is all about. Also, it has male and female bodies pictured, as well as male/female helpful hints.
Clients of mine who use the stretches in this book achieve a much greater level of relaxation and well being - thus making massage therapy worth even more than they are paying!
Book Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a perfect way of showing techniques for people whom don't know how to stretch properly. Majority of the aches and pains people get are from tight, forgotten about muscles. Stretching Anatomy takes care of not only illustrations, but a description of each stretch, how long to hold the stretch and gives helpful hints to assist in getting the best possible stetch out of each muscle. All in all, this is a great book, and there is nothing I would change about it.
I use my book all the time!
Book Review: Great stretching book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this book to not only show and teach clients and patients proper stretching techniques, I have recommended it as a tool for the Physical Therapist at my job, and used it for myself. Illustrations are detailed with specific muscles described in each stretch and are very helpful in understanding the anatomy of each stretch - great book for ANYONE, especially pre- and post-workout for athletes! I also recommend "Stretching" by Bob Anderson in conjunction with this as a teaching tool.Book Review: Ouch!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excellent book for the under 50 set. For those of us over 60 it is rather hilarious. My limbs have not achieved some of these positions for thirty years. I think if you have studied yoga you might have no trouble with these exercises. I learned a lot about how my muscles work and I will use some of their recommendations but be advised: if you are a senior looking for help stretching those tired muscles, I don't think this is the book for you.Book Review: Good, basic stretch book.
Summary: 3 Stars
I wished this book had more stretches for just legs, hips, and lower back. There were a lot of stretches for the arms, hands, lower legs, and feet. The book is decent. The great thing about this book is the fact it points out the greater stretched muscles and lesser stretched muscles in each demonstrated stretch. I would of liked if this book had more major muscle group stretches.
