Therapeutic Stretching by Jane Johnson
Covering various forms of stretches for able-bodied, injured and selected special populations, this resource offers both passive and active rehabilitative stretches for musculoskeletal conditions and injuries of the foot and ankle, knee and leg, hip and thigh, upper limb, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand and fingers, and back and neck.“This is an excellent guide for incorporating stretching into a therapeutic treatment or rehabilitation protocolThe necessity of including the goals and methods of measuring progress of stretching is highlighted in the book, something which often seems to be left out of a typical treatment plan. The approach is novel, arranging recommended stretches by injury or condition, rather than just body part.”
--Doody’s Book Review (4-star review)
