Review: Best book for quick stretches that are easy to follow AND do. - I'm constantly challenged to keep my stretching as part of my regular exercise routine. With the Anatomy of Stretching, I was able to stick to my plans and get the stretching done after each session. Lower back and knees are feeling great again.
Review: Spend the extra: get the 2nd edition if you can. - I ordered some of the sports related Anatomy books from Human Kinetics and this book. Though this book costs more, it is well worth it! Great for the artist, sculptor, physical therapist, massage therapist, nurse, doctor, athletes of every level or even the office worker with some aches and pains who wants to work intelligently with their health professional! Each exercise shows well drawn featured muscles (that are being stretched) in color which contrasts nicely with the adjacent muscles drawn in black and white (yet still with good detail). Drawings are usually in two views as needed. Then below are sections: Technique, Muscles being Stretched, Sports that benefit from this stretch, Sports injury where stretch may be useful, Common problems and additonal information for performing this stretch correctly and reference to other Complementary Stretches in the book. It is so much easier to learn when the reader can experience the stretch while studying. Thank you. I wish I had this book while in college, but it's never to late to learn! The only thing I didn't find was the origins, insertions and actions of each of the muscles. I found that online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book for quick stretches that are easy to follow AND do.
*by D***R on January 19, 2026*

I'm constantly challenged to keep my stretching as part of my regular exercise routine. With the Anatomy of Stretching, I was able to stick to my plans and get the stretching done after each session. Lower back and knees are feeling great again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spend the extra: get the 2nd edition if you can.
*by A***D on December 22, 2012*

I ordered some of the sports related Anatomy books from Human Kinetics and this book. Though this book costs more, it is well worth it! Great for the artist, sculptor, physical therapist, massage therapist, nurse, doctor, athletes of every level or even the office worker with some aches and pains who wants to work intelligently with their health professional! Each exercise shows well drawn featured muscles (that are being stretched) in color which contrasts nicely with the adjacent muscles drawn in black and white (yet still with good detail).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple and Clear
*by D***K on September 9, 2023*

The first section of the book talks about the physiology of muscles and the components of good stretching. The rest of the book is organized by area of the body. Each of the pages provides a clear diagram of what the stretch looks like and what muscles are involved and provide a brief description of the injuries or sports that benefit from that stretch. While it's very straightforward and clear, I wish it provided a little more commentary about each stretch to enhance your understanding of the context surrounding each stretch.
