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.
