I bought this book after being virtually crippled by a stress in my heel. I researched for weeks trying to figure out how to help this issue I had (I was unable to push off with my right foot when walking). I found this book on google books and began reading about it. I found it interesting because of it's knowledge of fascial tissue (yes fascial not facial). If you have never heard of fascial tissue this book is a must read to understand how pain can be relative. I am 21 years old and have had chronic sore knees for the past 3 years. I use to manage the pain with otc pain medicine like Ibuprofen. I was never happy to live on something like ibuprofen but I couldn't figure out any other options. This book begins by explaining that if my knees hurt chances are its not the knees, but somewhere in my facial line there is tightness causing a pull on my knees which causes pain there. I did some of the quadriceps stretches and BAM no more knee pain! I also have a very sore achy back from working at a desk and lifting weights. The author has a detailed walk thru of back stretches to do to correct that (he even explains which ones to do if you are a desk worker). The found the author to be credible as he is a former body building (IFBB certified) and also a Physical Therapist.
A few reviewers have made comments about the supplements he recommends. If you read about those supplements they are very tolerated by the body. If you are timid about knowing what to buy you can get everything he recommends inside of the Animal Flex Pack

Don't be put off from it because it's marketed to body builders, it is just joint supplements, literally everything this book recommends short of fish oil.
I have implemented his water drinking recommendations, and the daily fish oil and that alone has cured most of my constant pains (sore tired back, achy knees, tired feet). Its funny how dehydration can cause so many pains. For me this book was worth hundreds of dollars in the knowledge I gained from it, and the pain it has saved me from. I hope this book becomes more well known because I think it would save so many people from so many daily aches and pains.

Book is priceless for the supplement and dietary recommendations alone. After about 2 weeks muscles began releasing when stretched. Feeling better now than I have in years. Had thought that continually increasing stiffness and pain were inevitable parts of my aging. Fortunately, I was wrong. Looking forward to more stretching and strengthening.

I bought this book because my business is to try to help people feel better from fibromyalgia [...]. I reversed fibromyalgia in my body over the course of 6 years with techniques similar to the ones in this book, and when I saw what this man had to say had to say about fascia, I had to buy this book.
I like the stretches, although many of them seem overly complicated and too aggressive for the beginning stretcher.
I also think that self trigger point therapy before the stretches would greatly enhance them and make injury less likely.

It didn't offer as much help as I would have liked!
I like that it had some good stretches (or unique stretches), but for the most part it didn't offer a pain cure. I got more information from stretching books than this book. Read more
