(More customer reviews)While most people (myself included) would think a book like this is just for fitness professionals, athletes, or people who at least work out regularly, Prescriptive Stretching is actually a great tool for everyone. It begins with an explanation that likens stretching to a necessary everyday task like brushing your teeth. The reason? To reduce, eliminate, or prevent pain that we all will inevitably encounter in our backs, shoulders, knees etc. from simple things like bad posture, crossing your legs, or carrying a bag on one shoulder too often.
It focuses on the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation ("PNF") method of stretching, which was originally developed as a rehabilitation tool with highly successful results in increasing range of motion, muscle flexibility and strength. It explains the steps to proper PNF stretching in easy to understand terms, and offers complete and simple descriptions of 40 different stretching exercises that show specifically which muscle you are working. As a great "real world" tool, the book also provides stretching routines for common injuries and pain.
I think it is essential book for anyone interested in good general health and maintaining their body. It certainly has a wealth of information, but would benefit if some sort of general stretching program (not just for injuries) was added in order to help everyday people implement stretching into their daily lives.
