Synopsis
Olivia H. Miller, long-time yoga practitioner and alternative health author, presents a portable guide to stretching the body with THE STRETCH DECK, a set of 50 cards. Illustrations by Nicole Kaufman show just how to perform each movement. An anatomical-guide card shows the location of the muscles, front and back, that the stretch-cards target. In the accompanying booklet, Miller explains the importance of stretching and several reasons why the reader who may not be particularly athletic should incorporate stretching into daily life. She also addresses the more practiced athlete. The booklet also discusses the right and wrong ways to stretch, shows how to maximize benefit and avoid injury, and lists all the stretches on the cards in one place, for quick reference. Several specific recommended sequences for those with particular needs, including gardeners and golfers, round out this useful little tool that can assist any reader in search of a bit of flexibility.

THE STRETCH DECK

 

50 Stretches
By Olivia H. Miller with Kathy Carroll, Physical Therapist
Illustrations by Nicole Kaufman
Published by Chronicle Books, Fall 2002

 

Stretching is one of the most effective ways to enhance overall fitness. THE STRETCH DECK is an easy-to-use tool designed to stretch your entire body. The cards are organized by key regions of the body: neck, upper body, trunk and lower torso, and legs and placed into a handy portable box that can be used anywhere to promote flexibility, prevent injury, and release tension. The deck also includes an anatomy card so you can better identify the muscles being targeted.  Cards come in an attractive and sturdy box - easy to throw into your briefcase, purse, or overnight bag.

Whatever age you are or shape you are in, stretching will improve your mobility, balance and flexibility. You'll feel more relaxed, your muscles will be suppler, stiffness and pain will be reduced, and you'll enjoy increased range of motion.

The Stretch Deck is particularly beneficial for office workers and others whose lives are sedentary. The deck includes 4 stretches just for wrists and hands and 7 stretches for the neck and shoulder area. We all need to stretch but we just don't seem to find the time to do it enough. No excuses now! Grab a few cards and put them by your computer, in your gym bag, on the kitchen counter. And S T R E T C H...!
