Amazon review - stretching is a "rescue”
A new, and very much appreciated review has been posted on Amazon. Thanks Marcia!
Throughout most of my life (pregnancies, stressful times, very busy times, etc.), I have turned to the practice of stretching to help me maintain a sense of feeling somewhat physically fit. I used to exercise alot and always used stretching before and after activities to prevent unnecessary discomfort, pain or injury from keeping me down. Now that I am a very busy mother and nursing student, stretching is a “rescue” for me that allows me to maintain flexibility and strength for the somewhat rare times I get to participate in moderate to strenuous exercise.
This book is great as it lays the groundwork for why we should stretch, gives you the mechanics of how to stretch and provides detailed information on particular focused stretching routines in the “Niche Stretching” section. I especially like the bonus information provided in the “stretch maximizer” boxes found throughout the book and the illustrations are excellent for us visual learners.
I plan to recommend this book to patients in my future nursing practice.
