5.0 out of 5 stars This is the most practical stretching guide book ever!, August 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stretching Therapy: For Sport and Manual Therapies, 1e (Paperback)
This is the most practical stretching guide book ever! The section 1 occupies almost 1/3 of the entire book, and even beginners can learn the pragmatic mechanism of stretching therapy while looking at these visual medical data!! The section 2 including over 180 pages is the most organized and educational textbook! This book shows how to approach and stretch these major and minor muscles with a lot of illustrations and instructions!! Moreover, there are some detail cautions when we work on our clients. This manual book is absolutely "MUST BUY"! As a massage therapist, this is the book that I've been waiting for!!

5.0 out of 5 stars STRETCHING THERAPY, October 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stretching Therapy: For Sport and Manual Therapies, 1e (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book if you are a manual therapist and looking for different stretches to do with your clients.
The detailed instruction for the various stretches as well as warnings where appropriate is great.
I was hesitant to purchase at first due to the price thinking that there may be other books out there to give me what I was looking for at a lower cost, but I'm glad I broke down and got it.
