A good book @ a good price
By Steve Jackson
I bought this book halfway through a diploma course on Sports Therapy. With an interesting intro on the history of PNF , and very clear pictures, I havn't found a better book on the subject yet. The section on Spiral Diagonal Patterns is fairly complex, but thats not a criticism. Overall a good reference source at a decent price.

very useful, good book
By C. HORTON
Good illustrations and easy to understand. Need a proper physio-type bench to do some of the stretches shown altho you could improvise. However a really good book even so.
