Stretching Anatomy by Arnold G. Nelson

Arnold G. Nelson, Jouko Kokkonen and Tyler Farney explain stretching through illustrations of the muscles involved. This guide covers major joint areas, with step-by-step instructions, variations and notes about adjusting the difficulty of individual stretches.

Programs for everyday mobility and sport offer ways to organize a practice rather than simply collect isolated exercises. Safety considerations are part of the discussion; the book does not replace individualized rehabilitation advice or establish that every stretch is appropriate for every reader.
