The Science of Stretching - Orthotics, Podiatry, Sports Medicine in Vancouver, White Rock
There are many books and posters dedicated to stretching. What makes the "Stark Reality of Stretching" different? The answer is simple. This book demonstrates how to stretch properly! It dispels myths in stretching, teaches the science of how muscles stretch and what you can & can't stretch.
There are many muscle imbalances that cause chronic pain and often injuries. Learning what to stretch and to do so effectively can improve mobility and function. The facts speak for themselves and studies have shown there are no specific stretches for different sports. Whether you're a golfer, a gardener, a hockey player or a runner - young or old, the 5 major muscle groups of the lower extremities all stretch the same way!
At our medical clinic we offer a one on one stretching session with our patients to ensure they are maintaining good symmetry and proper function. We also offer customized seminars and workshops for businesses, organizations, schools, and sports groups.
