The Anatomy of Stretching Greater Flexibility Through Proper Stretching (Book) Optimal pre-stretching of the muscles is essential for effective training and injury prevention Stretching exercises maintain flexibility, prevent injuries and also play an important role as a therapeutic measure in physiotherapy and sports medicine. At the same time, stretching is a fitness discipline in its own right and must be learnt from the ground up. In this book, sports medicine specialist and stretching expert Brad Walker combines the anatomical principles of stretching with 114 practical stretching exercises for all the body’s major muscle groups. Detailed illustrations take us inside the body and show which muscles are involved in each exercise. Readers will also learn which sports or injuries a particular stretch is particularly suitable for, and what they must bear in mind when performing the exercises. The author: Brad Walker, born in 1971, is an internationally recognised expert in stretching and sports medicine and the owner of The Stretching Institute™, a company that develops and distributes teaching and learning materials for the prevention and rehabilitation of sports injuries. He studied medicine at the University of New England, Australia, and subsequently specialised in sports science. Today, he works closely with professional athletes and lectures on injury prevention. Brad Walker’s website, TheStretchingHandbook.com, receives over a million visits a year, making it the most visited information site on stretching, flexibility and injury prevention.
