These large charts (approx. 1m x 1.5m) provide an excellent resource for clinicians, therapists and teachers who use exercise as part of their approach to help with postural or mechanical spinal and limb pain problems. These charts are based on the book Stretching by) Brad Walker (Lotus Publishers) which gives a comprehensive list of stretching techniques. These are arranged according to anatomical position, and lists sports and other activities with the common strain patterns from each. Lotus Publications have produced a set of three charts covering Upper Limb and Shoulder, Trunk and Core, and The Lower Limb and Pelvis musculature.
The enlarged graphics used in these charts are extracted directly from the book. They are clearly drawn with sufficient anatomical detail to provide patients, pupils or clients to locate the muscle groups which probably need the benefit of stretching techniques to reduce the risk of injury.
I've personally been a keen advocate of stretching to help prevent muscle or joint injury for some time, and think that it's now accepted practice for sports injuries therapists to teach their patients the value of this approach. If you are at all interested in muscle injury prevention, then you should learn to teach which muscle groups need to be warmed up and stretched prior to participation in any activity. Whether they are about to participate in rugby, judo, gardening or even sitting in front of their laptop, incorporating stretching will get people to actively involve themselves in their healthcare.
These charts are visually appealing, with a pleasant earthy colour tone which makes people want to look and learn. I use them personally every day, and providing you continually revise each patients exercise programme to ensure technical compliance is good, I find the feedback from patients is generally excellent.
I think that stretching techniques when used regularly help reduce the incidence of postural weakness and the consequent back, neck and limb stiffness which results. These visually appealing charts are a useful means of teaching how to keep muscles supple and strong, and are thoroughly recommended.

Overview
Using drawings taken from the best-selling Anatomy Book The Anatomy of Stretching, these beautifully illustrated stretching posters show exactly what is happening during a stretch. Each of the 16 key stretches illustrates the primary and secondary muscles worked, showing how to perform each stretch and highlight sports injuries for which each stretch will be beneficial. Aimed at fitness professionals, physical therapists, sports scientists, or anyone involved in sport, these posters will help explain what is happening during a stretch, how the stretch can assist in recovery from injury, and add colour to any gym or treatment room wall.
