Revisiting the unstretchables

I’m pleased to notice that I’ve been doing this writing thing for long enough now that it’s reasonable to reach into the archives now and then and promote an article that I wrote once upon a time. From now on, I’m going to trot one of these out once in a while, say a word or two about it, and sit back on my laurels.

(Except not really, because I’m incapable of promoting an article without giving it a good edit. This one took an hour, and I could easily have spent twice that long.)

The Unstretchables” is about a basic and neglected concept in therapeutic stretching which puts the value of stretching into perspective. It emphasizes that there are some strict limits on stretching, and if it is otherwise therapeutically potent.
