Gain strength and mobility while living a pain-free life at any age using this revolutionary technique created by former ballerina, New York Times bestselling author, and star of PBS's Classical Stretch, Miranda Esmonde-White.
The fields of sports and fitness are presently dominated by injury and chronic pain. Scientific studies are proving that the old philosophy of "No Pain, No Gain" is false and that pain and injuries are unnecessary biproducts of physical activity. For decades, former ballerina and New York Times bestselling author of Aging Backwards, Miranda Esmonde-White, has been developing a solution to the chronic pain produced by a lifetime of injuries and ageing, leaving her as spry later in life as most of us would dream to be in our twenties.

The secret to mobility, strength, flexibility, good posture, and peak fitness is a daily Essentrics workout. Miranda's revolutionary technique is paving the way to create younger, stronger more mobile bodies without injury or pain. This trailblazing program rooted in science has delivered world champions and Olympic medalists by preventing injuries and healing pain. Now, for the first time, it is available in book form offering:
-A large range of motion sequences to strengthen the entire musculoskeletal system
-Bonus posture workouts tailored for athletes, peak performers, and users who want to minimize back and joint pain
-Information and strategies to completely restore the body
-And much more.

The Miracle of Flexibility offers a blueprint for using this revolutionary range-of-motion-strengthening technique in your own home. With no equipment required, this method has been successfully taught around the world by thousands of certified instructors. It builds strength, increases range of motion, and assists in recovering from chronic pain and injuries.

      Drawing upon her years of formal dance training, Esmonde-White (who readers might know from her PBS series) introduces readers to Essentrics, a gentle movement program that emphasizes a full range of motion to improve one's strength and flexibility. The author argues that programs such as Pilates, static stretching, or high-intensity workouts designed to push bodies to the limit don't consider all 360 joints and 650 muscles that make up the human body and the natural way it's designed to move. Much of this book is dedicated to targeted workouts that can be done with minimal equipment. There are routines for every day (including mornings), stress relief, chronic pain, and much more. At the start of the workout section, various movements are detailed with both full-body images and specific ones of affected joints. VERDICT Readers will gain knowledge of concrete movements and exercises that will reduce their pain, improve their mobility, and help them move gracefully through life.--Whitney Bates-Gomez
