The fourth edition includes the following content updates:

- Updated stretching programs in chapters 10 and 11, for a total of 30 programs
Visually stunning full-color illustrations throughout the text give you a clear idea of the muscles affected by each stretch. All major joint areas from the feet to the neck are covered, with over 80 stretches throughout the book. Each stretch includes step-by-step instructions on how to perform the stretch, the names of the muscles stretched, and a Stretch Notes section detailing the procedures and benefits of every exercise as well as safety considerations and variations for increasing or decreasing difficulty.
Suggested stretching programs for daily mobility and flexibility are provided, as are 23 sport-specific routines to be used by athletes and their trainers who want to improve flexibility, maximize efficiency of movement, and enhance recovery from training and competing in their chosen sport.
Whether you're looking for stretches to ease daily aches and pains, address arthritis, recover effectively from your sport, or just fit a little more movement into your busy day, Stretching Anatomy, Fourth Edition, has something for you.
