Book Reviews of Stretching Anatomy
Book Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a physical therapist and I LOVE this book. I'm showing it to my patients and to my bodybuilding trainee. The illustrations explicitly detail the muscles being stretched, and the book gives appropriate advice on stretching.Book Review: Pretty Good, Instructions Need To Be Clearer
Summary: 3 Stars
Art work is good,in showing you the muscles. That's well done.
BUT they don't tell you in layman's terms what the stretches are meant to help. So you better know some anatomy. Would have been really helpful if they'd said the anatomical name and then "Shin" or "outside of ankle", for example.
Plus the instructions, like where to place your hands on a doorway, aren't shown and the written description just isn't that clear and I've been to PT myself.
What is good is they do a lot of detailed foot stretches which a lot of books don't cover. I think if you've had some stretching instruction or P.T. already, this would be helpful addition to your stretching library. Kind of a more advance version of STRETCHING FOR FITNESS HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE by by Oswald and Bocso.

Summary: 5 Stars
Loren W Christensen (1st review) gave an excellent review of this book. The only thing I wasn't happy about was the fact that layman's terms were not used. The pictures are VERY CLEAR as to what muscles are being worked/stretched, but when I'm at the gym, I can't talk about the muscles being worked, because I can't remember the technical/professional terms that are used in the book. This is my only complaint, because this book is an excellent resourse for anyone wanting to warm up and/or doing stretching exercises to enhance their mobility.Book Review: Start Stretching Today!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This book has everything you need begin your stretching program. The illustrations are so amazing they would be helpful for med students, chiropractors and massage therapists. Book also includes a guide to building a 5 week program and tables that breakdown the muscle groups targeted in each section. Hands down, best book on the market today.
