Stretching Anatomy, Third Edition, is your go-to guide for seeing inside the stretches that will help your clients increase range of motion, enhance recovery, and facilitate ease of movement during physical and everyday activities.

The visually stunning illustrations of 79 stretches cover all major joint areas of the body, from the feet to the neck. For each stretch, there are step-by-step instructions, the names of the muscles stretched, and a Stretch Notes section detailing the procedures and benefits of the exercise as well as safety considerations and variations for increasing or decreasing difficulty.

You’ll find suggested stretching programs for daily mobility and flexibility, including stretches for people who sit or stand for extended periods, as well as a program to help lower blood glucose. Sport-specific stretching routines for 23 different sports are included for use with athletes who want to improve flexibility, maximize efficiency of movement, and enhance recovery from training and competing in their chosen sport.

After reading the ebook, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.
