Movie Reviews of Stretch and Joint Mobility TherapyMovie Review: A gift to your joints! Summary: 5 Stars
Annette Fletcher defines her new program, " Stretch and Joint Mobility Therapy," as active pursuit of joint health thru movement, (important especially as we age), stimulating synovial fluid to keep joints lubricated and less stiff. Annette Fletcher's previous programs are great as a prelim to dance with excellent results in warm up, strength and flexibility. "The Perfect in Ten Stretch", is perfect for mini work outs when time does not allow for more.
Stretch and Joint Mobility Therapy is perhaps the most priceless dvd I have yet to receive. The investment in my personal health has no measure especially throughout life's' stages. As a dancer I must be ready to execute movement properly. Recently I suffered an injury at home, yet upon completion of my physical therapy, this program has been an aide in helping my body heal and regain range of motion as I strive to return to normal dance life.
Since this program is open level, it is ideal so you may pace yourself by choosing from any of the three sections designed specifically for your needs. Begin slowly and work up to your comfort level, use your judgement . Here is an assortment of yoga, pilates and simple stretches to help lengthen muscles and keep your joints happy.
The first section is great for anyone beginning with intense focus to the joints. These stretches are so relaxing and soothing to tired achy muscles of the shoulders and back. Isolated ribcage and hip rotations, knees and ankles, these all get a workout in circular movements to allow the synovial fluid to lubricate and soothe the joints. The hip swing is an awesome stretch in this section.
Dynamics stretches follow and the speed and range increase. If you are active in sports or dance, you will be at ease in this section. These begin slowly and develop larger range gradually. The side lunges were my favorite in this segment. Balance, strength and flexibility are also a focus. Spinal twists progress into abdominal strengthening exercises.
Static stretches are next and rich and beneficial for the hamstrings, hip flexors. Also seated stretches for the lower back are so helpful if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and sit in front of a computer most of the day.Each section is approximately 15- 20 minutes in length.
In the vast ocean of self help videos out there, this is definitely one that you can trust. It is prepared by a professional dancer and Pilates instructor. Her teaching method is clear and to the point without being overly lengthy. Best yet, your joints will thank you in the years to come.
