Summary: All you want to know about stretching
Review: This book contains all you could ever want to know about stretching. And it works... i have now tried it on my own body and I can highly recommend it for all. This is a must. If you are not into reading so much, then try Pavel Tsatsoulines Relax Into Stretch. It is basicly the same ideas but less science talk.

Summary: A must have book that really does work....October 31, 1999
Review: This book is great and very easy to understand. It doesn't lie to you about not be able to stretch when you are older. This book helps anybody at any age to stretch. Its helped me a lot and I'm only 14 years old. It doesn't matter how tall you are. I wondered the same thing when I bought the book. I'm tall (6'1), and about 5 inches from touching the ground in a side split. Its a really good book. It does wonders for me in gymnastics.

Summary: Just the ticket!
Review: This book takes the guesswork out of getting more flexible. It makes increasing your flexibility simple, but it's still very hard work and requires you to stop making excuses and get off your backside!

Summary: Best book on flexability ever
Review: This is by far the best book on flexability training. It clearly explains everything you possibly need to know on flexability and how to develop the type of flexability that you require for youre particular sport. Using the method I get closer to a full side split every day. It is a must for any serious martial artist.

Summary: A very informative book with clear instructions
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in the subject.It does away with many popular misconceptions ( stretch until it hurts...).The claims to fast flexibility made by the author, however, are not very realistic for the average person.
Rating: 
Summary: Don't buy this book unless you're DEEP into technical stuff
Review: This work is far too technical for the average person looking for a reasonable guide for stretching exercises. I found it virtually useless for my needs simply because it is so deep. If you're deep into athletic work and record keeping, it's probably a good book, however.

Summary: Money not well spent
Review: Tom Kurtz is so concerned with demonstrating his flexibility that the whole point of the exercise program he recommends is lost. I have just began training in Tae Kwon Do and find that this is just a money making exercise-- Yeah great, the author can show us what to expect but not in his ridiculous time frame that he suggests. There is not enough info for the average practitioner to follow let alone a novice-- Back to the drawing board Tom and see your program from a beginners point of view-- Less physiology talk and more honesty would be good...

Summary: Highly inforamtive and useful
Review: Tom Kurz gives the reader a highly effective stretching method based on his scientific studies. A great guide to anyone willing not only to gain in flexibility, but just feel better in the everyday's life. In my opininon, every single sensible sport instructor, if not anyone should use the method demonstrated by Tom Kurz to avoid muscle injury.

Summary: Stretching scientifically in a simple way
Review: Why should people stretch? How to stretch? What is the difference between stretching and flexibility? How to have full flexibility even without a warm-up? Tom Kurz uses a down-to-earth style and wit to answer questions like this in "Stretching Scientifically, A Guide to Flexibility Training". The book covers a broad range of issues that focus on basic theory of flexibility , stretching methodology (from theory to practical tips), and sample workouts plans. The unique feature of the Kurz's method is combining flexibility with strength training. No one who works in athletic training, applied kinesiology, or physiotherapy should be without it. It is a must for athletes, coaches and instructors, whatever their specific discipline would be. No single man is more qualified to write about flexibility training than Tom Kurz - he had worked extensively as an athlete, p.e. teacher and a coach. Each idea advanced in the book is thoroughly covered and illustrated with photos on which Kurz presents all exercises and his enormous flexibility skills. Does one need a better argument that his method works?
