Kristian Berg shares his expertise on stretching and athletic training in Prescriptive Stretching by presenting detailed visual instruction on 40 stretches. The large, full-color anatomical illustrations demonstrate exactly how each stretch targets a specific muscle, which is ideal for treating pain and imbalances in a targeted way. Detailed discussion of PNF stretching — a popular combination of passive stretching and isometric contraction — is covered with sample programs designed to improve flexibility and assist with injury prevention.
