Testimonials
"I'd simply like to say a big thank you for covering an area that is often neglected; STRETCHING!!! There are so many myths about it and I have not found one site that deals sufficiently and simply with this VERY IMPORTANT aspect of fitness, be that for a 65yr old or a fit army recruit... until I tripped over yours. So well done and please keep me on your data base - a lot of your information has consolidated my own ideas which I use regularly with my patients."
Diksha Chakravarti,
Msc MBCMA MACM MFHS
"I would just like to say thank you for the information you have provided. I never received this type of information in my personal training course, which I believe should be a part of PT accreditation. I have learned a lot from it and it will assist me to be a better PT in my new personal training business. It is also a pleasant surprise to receive information for nothing without trying to push company products down our necks. Many many thanks."
Sharon Neyland
"Your book and DVD has really helped motivate me to get and stay fit. I've seen a lot of progress already and I've only been using it for about six weeks. A lot of muscle and joint pain I thought was chronic is almost gone. And it's easy too - just a floor and a TV and I'm set. I'm sure you know, but for the $25 or $30, this was a bargain! I love to play golf, but I was losing fitness while focusing on my golf game. I'm excited my golf will be even better and more fun with less pain with the help of your stretching resources."
Pat Calby
"THANKS for all the great info. I awoke at 2am on the 14th with serious pain and lack of movement in my shoulder, and had to miss work that day. On Saturday, a friend told me about frozen shoulder. So I googled it, came up with your web site, and immediately started treating it as you recommend. The improvement has been dramatic; I'd say 80-90% back to normal."
John Ingress
"I can't begin to tell you how much you have helped me. I am a 55 year old who has been in a variety of athletic activities that have resulted in minor to major injuries. Your information has helped me to get back into activities that I thought were history."
Mel Milliron
"Your products are the very best compilation of stretches that I have ever been exposed to in the 20+ years of knowing therapists. Usually the info they offer is fragmented and yours was so complete. Your products have made a real difference in how I function day to day."
Name Withheld
"I found your website accidentally and want to commend you on focusing on this critically important aspect of conditioning. As a former Olympic athlete and gold medalist in the Commonwealth games, I can attest to the minimal attention given to proper warm-ups and stretching by most coaches in most sports."
"Every high school coach and every athlete in every sport should become your students, and should recognize the importance of stretching to maximize performance and to avoid injury."
Paul Foreman
"I want to thank you for your newsletters. It has encouraged me this winter when I pulled a calf muscle and from your injury recommendations and exercises has helped me recover in 5 weeks to be back up on the slopes and am fully recovered."
Mendy Jimison
"I've just been looking for some information on iliopsoas tendonitis and found your website. Your article on this conditions was great - informative, succinct and comprehensive, but easy to read. I used to manage a consulting company with 40 scientists working for me, and none of them could write without a liberal sprinkling of jargon (which makes for incredibly frustrating peer review!). It's really refreshing to see such top-quality information. Thanks for making my day a little easier."
