Synopsis

This second edition of Stretching & Flexibility has new hamstring and hip flexor exercises, but otherwise is the same as the first edition. If you own the first edition, you can bring yourself up to speed by going to our Vimeo on Demand channel (search for Kit Laughlin) and get the Stretching & Flexibility DVD Update for a modest cost. Our Vimeo programs are DRM-free, for your convenience too.Stretching & Flexibility is one of the best-known books addressing the subject of how to make yourself more flexible, more mobile, and how to move better. It is based around 16 lessons which begin with the simplest spinal movements. All parts and all functions of the body are covered.Stretching & Flexibility presents over 100 exercises, with detailed instructions and Cues. Each exercise has a minimum of three photographs, and there are many anatomical illustrations, too. Beginner's, Intermediate, and Advanced versions of exercises are shown. There are groups of exercises organised by sport or activity.If readers are interested in getting in touch with other stretchers, movers, and practitioners, google Stretch Therapy Forums; we have a vibrant community and membership is free.

About this title

From the Author

Stretching & Flexibility is my second book; the first was Overcome neck & back pain. S&F, as we call it, is the general text, and is the textbook for our Stretch Teacher workshops, too. Stretching & Flexibility is the one to get if you do not have any particular problems and simply wish to become more flexible and to move better; but if you have neck or back pain (or shoulder, hand, and warm pain), then Overcome neck & back pain will suit you better.All the photos in the book were shot in the Australian National University dedicated "P&F" space ("P&F" is the old name of Stretch Therapy). And all the models are teachers or senior students. We hope you like using the books as much as we liked making it (and that was a lot!). And don't forget we now have the Stretch Therapy on-line Forums, too: the Forums are free and you will find many like-minded people there. Google Stretch Therapy Forums.
