Anatomy of Stretching

Brilliant book, would definitely recommend. Good clear pictures of how to do each stretch with good explanation to go with it. Also explains which muscles are being stretched in each exercise and things to avoid doing. This book is for anyone from the beginner, like me, to the experienced athlete - we can all benefit from doing these stretching exercises. It is easy to find the exercises you prefer or need to do and doesn't have all the technical jargon those in the profession use that just put me off because it is too difficult to understand. This is definitely one of the best books I have purchased.

This book has taught me so much about stretching. The detailed anatomy of each stretch is excellent. With 5 damaged lower vertebrae my physio told me I needed to stretch so with the aid of Craig’s book I set to it . Due to Covid-19 this advice was given via telephone conversation after the physio had studied my scans. When she met me in person a couple of months later she was very surprised I wasn’t in crutches. So many thanks to the author oh and my wife ( for the encouragement) .

If you are prepared to commit 20 mins to half an hour a day, this is perfect for self help with back problems, stiffness in joints & muscles. Highly recommend this as an antidote to early fifties niggles. Particularly with fitness regimes not being as easy as they used to be. I have 'freed up' a lot of issues in just two weeks. After having tried various types of massage, acupuncture, chiropractor and physiotherapy. Sometimes it's the simplest things that work the best. Great illustrations and simple instructions with no mumbo jumbo.

In very good condition for the price. Delivered quickly. All good thank you

Detailed and clear pictures. Bought it for my boyfriends birthday and he's really happy with it and will use it to help him in his dance career.

Used with my PT and found it very useful and fun, Not comfortable but in time I think I will be very glad I purchsed this book, Would recommend. Most likely better with a partner, inmy case my PT.

I really like this book. I saw it first in a library and then decided to buy one. I really like the fact that they show every muscles you are working in doing the stretching. You don't realize which muscles you are working and this book help you to discover it. Some exercises might seem strange at the beginning, but at least you are working all your muscles.

I'm a runner. This book is great as you can see - exactly - the muscles, ligaments and tendons on their diagrams, what they are called. And each stretch shows, diagrmatically and by a list, which of the muscles, ligaments and tendons benefit from the stretch. An excellent book for runners, Walkers, anyone with a tight body.

Even though into my senior years and still do intense workouts six days a week; nevertheless, I have found my age-related problems include a decrease in my flexibility. This is why when I saw this 160-page large format soft cover book (Anatomy of stretching: A guide to increasing your flexibility by Craig Ramsay) on Amazon I purchased it. As always, the delivery service was fast and efficient. I loved this book from the very first page to the end. This fantastic full color with beautiful photographs and illustrations is a must own for anyone who teaches fitness or is a workout fanatic like me. As someone who used to practice and teach various martial arts and was very flexible at one time, this book really has helped me to do more stretching movements in my daily workouts. The book covers stretching for a better life, build a stretching routine, the stretching session, which includes from the foot to the head. It also shows partner stretches, pregnancy stretches, office stretches, foam roller stretches extreme challenge stretches, and the quick stretch program. Included in this book is large poster. This book should be in your personal library as an excellent reference source on flexibility training. I loved it. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

One of the best books ever on stretching. Well presented superior pictures and easy to follow.

This is a great book that shows you how to stretch a specific area, or specific muscle. It has great picture detail showing you the proper way to do your stretches and illustrations of the muscle and it’s fibers that are being targeted. It comes with a full color poster that has the most commonly used stretches. It tells you how to elevate or increase the stretch technique. I am a licensed board certified massage therapist and I use this book almost every day for my clients.

Satisfied. As described.

Great book, nice pictures very clear! Good purchase!
