Stretching and Flexibility by Kit Laughlin

Stretching and Flexibility by Kit Laughlin

Stretching & Flexibility is one of the best-known books addressing the subject of how to make yourself more flexible, how to become more mobile, and how to move better. It is based around 16 lessons which begin with simple spinal movements. The second edition has two major new exercises compared to the first edition. As well, the book provides a URL (to our inexpensive pay download channel) to the full video stream of the S&F DVD Update (1.5 hours of high-definition video); there are many new additional exercises and variations of exercises there.

Stretching & Flexibility presents 100 exercises, with detailed instructions and Cues. Each exercise has a minimum of three photographs, and there are many anatomical illustrations, too. Beginner's, Intermediate, and Advanced versions of exercises are shown. There are groups of exercises organised by sport or activity.

The author is a researcher and presenter in this area, and he teaches internationally. He is also the author of Overcome neck & back pain, a best-seller in this area. He has a Master of Letters degree, awarded by the Science Faculty of the Australian National University in 1992. He was granted an Australian Post-Graduate Research award for PhD research; back pain was the key case study.

Kit Laughlin studied oriental medicine during a five-year stay in Japan and, on his return to Australia, was the Japanese ambassador's personal shiatsu practitioner. In 1988 he was asked to treat the prime minister of Japan during his visit to Australia, the first time a Westerner had been asked to provide such a service.
Laughlin was awarded a Master of Letters degree in 1992 from the Science Faculty of the Australian National University, and currently is doing research for a Ph.D. dissertation in which back pain is the key case study.
Laughlin originated the Posture & Flexibility and Strength & Flexibility courses that have been run by the Australian National University Sports Union for the last eleven years. Assisted by fourteen teachers whom he trained, Laughlin has taught these courses to thousands of students of all ages and levels of fitness, with proven results. He is the presenter of the acclaimed Overcome Neck & Back Pain seminars and the author of a forthcoming book, Introduction to Posture & Flexibility.
