Improve Your Flexibility, Health, and Fitness--Without Stretching
Top Sports Medicine Specialist Provides Safer Alternative
Many forms of traditional stretching can cause injury. Leading medical expert Charles Kenny, M.D., has created a risk-free alternative to help men and women of all ages increase everyday flexibility, prevent sports injuries, and maximize athletic performance.
Doctor Kenny's book Natural Flexibility includes exercises for people of all fitness levels-even rehabilitation training for those who experience chronic pain. In the program, Dr. Kenny substitutes progressive sequential isometric (PSI) for the more traditional methods of warm-up and stretching.
Athletes and their coaches, dancers, and anyone looking to maximize their fitness potential can improve physical performance by using the innovative techniques within Natural Flexibility.
"Throw out your stretching books," says Doctor Kenny. "Scientific studies have shown that the benefits of stretching are uncertain and may even be harmful."
