    I am utilizing the stretching in the Prescriptive Stretching book to ease the stress pain of sitting in my office chair while I work at my computer. I appreciate having the big pictures showing how the stretching helps my muscles and scoliosis spine continue to function appropriately for my spine health.

    This is the best book that I have found that not only gives you stretches and trigger points that are accurate and, most of all, work if you follow the descriptions. It has a world of interesting and important details that have helped me immensely and hopefully will help you IF you adhere to the instructions. It is good to find a system that alleviates pains I have had that nothing else helped as much as these stretches combined with the trigger point work.
