Does it hurt when you perform an exercise?
Are you sure?
As a practicing physical therapist for over a decade, I've seen people both in the clinic and in the gym that thought they were doing what was best for themselves, but all they were doing was harming themselves
With over 400 pictures and over 50 exercises, the intention of this book is to lay a better foundation in which to build from. Let's build better body awareness and improve posture together while working on generalized strengthening.
This book is viewed best on a device that supports flowable reading vs turn page to be able to see the pictures in alignment with the text.. You can zoom in on the pictures to make them bigger.
