\u003cp\u003eFrom basic static stretches to advanced techniques like the pin-and-stretch, \u003cb\u003eMosbyâs Stretching Pocket Guide \u003c/b\u003edefines and explains stretching and flexibility in a way that is both applicable to manual therapy professionals and easily understood by manual therapy students. Presented in an atlas format with over 200 illustrations, this convenient reference has \u003ci\u003eSpotlight \u003c/i\u003eboxes with salient points, and general assessment and stretching guidelines available in a clear, easy to understand format that is immediately applicable to manual therapy practice.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There is excellent practical advice about the dangers of over-zealous stretching and the clearest warnings about the harm can be done and how long it may take this harm to settle. I wonder if the day of the pocket guide is almost over, to be replaced by the mobile phone or tablet on which these various stretching illustrations can all be shown in colour (and maybe with movement). If there is not already an app for stretching, I guess there soon will be.\" \u003cb\u003eReviewed by:\u003c/b\u003e Andrew Watson, Nottingham \u003cb\u003eDate:\u003c/b\u003e Aug 2014\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cli\u003eOver 200 detailed line drawings and photos \u003c/b\u003edemonstrate basic and advanced stretching techniques.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eAtlas format \u003c/b\u003ehelps you quickly and easily find the stretching technique and pertinent information you need.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoverage of basic information on stretching, flexibility, and range of motion \u003c/b\u003egives you just the right amount of background information to help you understand the body mechanics involved in stretching techniques.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpotlight\u003c/i\u003e boxes \u003c/b\u003ehighlight key concepts so you can check and reinforce facts at a glance.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlossary of stretching terms \u003c/b\u003ehelps you to understand the language of the body in terms of stretching\u003cb\u003e.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of references \u003c/b\u003ehelps you obtain more detailed information when necessary.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
