For physical therapists, bodyworkers, coaches, and athletes--the ultimate guide to safe, effective stretching

This updated edition of The Anatomy of Stretching is an accessible, in-depth resource for enhancing your stretching and fitness regimen in ways that are science-backed, designed to prevent injury, and tailored to enhance mobility and function.

Inside, you'll discover what happens to your muscles on a cellular level when you stretch--and why technique matters. Whether you're an athlete looking to level up your performance, a fitness pro refining your training programs, or a physical therapist or bodyworker building your hands-on client skills, this book helps you:

  • Improve flexibility and range of motion in every major muscle group
  • Reduce soreness, stiffness, and post-workout fatigue and DOMS
  • Apply different stretching techniques to address specific sports and athletic concerns
  • Learn to balance opposing muscle groups and prevent injuries
  • Stretch correctly every time, aided by in-depth illustrations

From static and dynamic stretches to advanced methods like PNF and isometric stretching, Brad Walker explains when and how to use different techniques for maximum benefit. You'll also find practical warm-up and cool-down protocols; sport-specific stretching recommendations; targeted routines for common injuries; and detailed explanations of 135 illustrated stretches that show which muscles are being lengthened--and how each move supports your athletic performance, injury prevention, rehabilitation, and more.
