GREAT FOR ANYONE!,

This review is from: Therapeutic Exercises Using Foam Rollers (Paperback)
This book is a must for anyone working with rehab, mature, and relatively healthy individuals. I use this book to help target specific areas/muscles where a person may need additional strength or stretching. It is a GREAT reference to keep exercise/exercise therapy fun!

This review is from: Therapeutic Exercises Using Foam Rollers (Paperback)
It is interesting to me that the one negative reviewer said she didn't like the book because most of the exercises could easily be done without the roller. But that's the whole point! Adding the roller to specific exercises in specific ways increases the effectiveness of the exercises by forcing you to have to balance and stabilize more. This is one of the only books that I had stolen several times from my studio and I just kept replacing it. It's great! The roller is not just to massage your back and stretch your shoulders. Using it to stand and kneel on helps strengthen your balance and your "core" stabilizers in ways that are very useful and functional. I have used this book and the exercises myself and with clients for over a decade.

I expected more from the book. OK for the beginner but not any new information.
