This book has the power to turn your body in a totally different direction. I have experienced back and neck pain for years and felt as if the healing that I needed to do was overwhelming in magnitude. This book gave me the power to really start to turn the tide in the direction of health and balance. I felt as if it gave me specific, easy to use, tools to really be in charge of my own healing and recovery.
I highly recommend this book to everyone, whether you are interested in maintaining a high state of health or beginning a recovery program. Huge thank you to the authors who have applied their knowledge, intuition, and years of experience in such a comprehensive manner. This book is very helpful in learning how to use Myofascial Stretching to improve range of motion and loosen the fascia. The explanations are clear and easy to follow, and the accompanying photos make it even easier.
The index of stretches helps you to zero in the stretch you need. The principle of holding a stretch for at least two minutes is well explained. A great choice for professional and lay person alike. This is a wonderful and unique manual for Myofascial Stretching.
The techniques were developed by the authors from their experiences and based on the Myofascial Release techniques that are usually not well documented. The authors have shared their secrets in these techniques. This is a gem. It is not only useful for therapists but also for everyone's own self-care. The step-by-step instructions and clear photographs are easy to follow.
Instead of calling my doctor when I have a new ache or pain, I look in the book and can often resolve the issue on my own. I highly recommend this book to family, friends and colleagues. I have always done a lot of stretching, but there was one spot in my low back, that I just could not find the right exercise to relieve.
