(More customer reviews)This book provides:
1. A systematic approach for identifying your movement restrictions and designing a program to resolve them
2. Clear instruction on effective stretching, with a focus on developing the right combination of mobility and stability
3. Specific guidelines for incorporating soft tissue work with a therapy ball into your exercise program
My personal experience applying just the stretching guidelines has been the following:
1. My hips have opened quite a bit. I can comfortably drop into a deep squat.
2. Foot pain I have had for almost a year is quickly going away
3. A shoulder problem I went to physical therapy for but never quite finished fixing is rapidly improving
I've got the recommended equipment for the trigger point therapy on the way (a $10 Footsie roller and a $15 Fitball). If it does as much for me as the stretching has, I'm going to be a very happy person.
On a professional basis, I've been certified by the ACSM as a Health / Fitness Instructor since 2002. I was certified by ACE as a Personal Trainer in 2000. I've read a number of other stretching books and watched several DVDs. This book is the clearest out of any of them, and is one of the few to recognize being overly flexible is just as bad as not being flexible enough. It's also one of the few to address the concept of promoting soft tissue quality to reduce risk of injury.
Considering the price relative to other fitness products on the market, everyone should own a copy and apply the guidelines. Diligent attention to a sound program of mobility work will have more immediate impact on quality of life and ease of movement than just about any other form of exercise.
