Isolated Stretching for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Chronic Pain and Sports Injuries. This DVD is based on creating structural balance throughout the body by focusing on muscle groups that shorten due to repetitive motions or prolonged poor posture. Many people are stretching the wrong muscle groups in a futile attempt to eliminate pain patterns. For example, many computer users complained “between the shoulder-blade pain” but insist on continuing to stretch this area. They need to learn that the lower traps, middle rhomboids, and posterior rotator cuff are already weak and overstretched. Stretching the shortened muscles in front of the neck and shoulders is the key. Patient compliance and precise home care is critical. Level: Intermediate-Advanced Running Time: 60 mins
