It shows you how to . . .
# perform both self-massage and partner-assisted massage;
# administer the most effective routines for pre- and postcompetition;
# stretch, warm up, and activate primary muscles;
# treat critical muscle groups for elevated performance;
# speed recovery; and
# minimize injury, pain, and fatigue.
The book includes some amazing stretches you can do that will make you feel great. Lots of color photos to show you exactly how to perform each stretch. Having bad knees, I found the quad strengthener stretches especially useful.
Fact is, there are photos throughout the book to show you and/or a therapist or helper how to do each massage to gain the most effective results.
A DVD is included with the book.
Highly recommended.
