520 1 $a"This textbook contains valuable information for physiotherapists, masseurs, physical education instructors and teachers, trainers, coaches, medical doctors, osteopaths, sportsmen and all those who use stretching in their work." "This book contains a review of research into the effects of stretching, and comparisons of different stretching techniques. The theoretical background and physiologic mechanisms are also explained. Colour photographs show clearly how stretching is applied while anatomical drawings illustrate the location and direction of the muscles treated so that correct hand positions can be readily adopted and the direction of the stretch is clear. Both static and tension-relaxation stretching techniques are described and special attention is given to possible complications and contraindications. The textbook contains over 160 colour photographs and over 200 drawings."--BOOK JACKET.
