Title: Excellent, essential book
Review: The content in this book is thorough as it is useful. In a world that has increasing demands, it is important that we take care of ourselves. The methods shown are very taught effectively and the benefits of each stretch is shown in a simple succinct manner.

Title: Amazing stretching book
Review: This book has A LOT of stretching exercises. It's not a book that's filled with words and difficult to follow steps. In fact, the every single exercise is very easy to do and Joe also included pictures so you can understand better. In there, he also help you formulate a 9 minute stretching routine that you can do daily or whenever. I found the stretch exercises very useful and I have been using them for months. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Title: You Need this Book in Your Life
Review: FINALLY - an "exercise" book of use to ME! (Insert: dancing girl, confetti, raised hands...emojis!) I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this book, I'm just grateful to have done so. There are multiple things I appreciate, and in turn find VERY helpful: the layout, content, organization...Of primary value to this user (see that? Not "reader" - - USER!) is the "clean", easy to use layout. Specifically, each new page presents a given stretch or strengthener and begins with a few sentences "introduction" spelling out the "whats" and "whys" of the given stretch or strengthener. As a question-box, yet with a limited attention span, I like background explanation, in brevity. Additionally, each page dedicated to a specific stretch or strengthener follows the format that includes "cues" (think: hints and tips), "target areas", and "how-to's" - all short and sweet. The pictures of the author demonstrating each of the positions, sometimes from multiple angles, are easy to discern, thus eliminating any "am I doing this right" apprehension.The overall content and organization is helpful with separate sections denoting stretching/mobility v. strengthening, an intro, index, tools, and routines. Once-upon-a-time a former boss told me when presenting "talk to the dumbest person in the room" (don't assume anyone knows anything about what you're speaking - and do not use acronyms!). I feel like the author accomplished this in his introduction. It's informative, yet relatable. I didn't get a deep-dive into high school chemistry or biology, rather basic, relatable information helping me to appreciate WHY I want to stretch and strengthen (stat)! And as someone easily overwhelmed with tons of options, that the author has provided some optional routines eliminates the panic of choosing the absolutely-most-perfect-combination-of-stretches-and-strengtheners instead providing some training wheels I can take off at a later date.A couple of final notes worth mentioning are the credibility of the author and his overall disposition. I value that he's a certified personal trainer AND a licensed massage therapist. He's got the education to back-up his claims. And if that's not enough, he's got quite a bit of endorsement from professional athletes - THEY rely on his expertise. He also presents without hard and fast rules, and is not married to his approaches, rather recognizes "not one size fits all" and people will and can modify for THEIR body's needs.I'm really glad to have stumbled upon Better Stretching. It's working. (Scratch that: I'M working - with the helpful guidance of this book.)

Title: Useful!
Review: This book has come in handy when I want to do some movements, but don’t know where to start! I especially love the stretches for sitting at your desk and I’ve been able to implement them at work. Joe makes it really simple and gives great step by step and explanations throughout the book. Follow his IG too! Has great stuff

Title: Helped me recover!
Review: Absolutely stellar book and helped with the worst injury I of my life. So let me start by start by saying I’ve been following his account on Instagram for a few years. Some of the guides I’ve come across in his book I’ve seen on his IG but the book has is easier for me to consult and find things without searching or scrolling on my phone and needing to be in an area with good reception.So I had a awful injury in my back and I was desperate to finding solutions. I don’t believe in quick fixes. So when I say solutions I mean something that will provide relief and recovery when I do it consistently over time. I first thought finding good stretches on a web search would be sufficient but surprisingly I wasn’t finding quality info.That’s when I came across Joe on IG. After having seeing a clear guide of multiple stretches, I have it a shot. I really began to love how I felt when stretching. Something I wasn’t always a fan of. Eventually after 3 months after my injury and doing stretches found my joe, for my case, I had success. From there on, I knew that I could count top value on and trust Joe.

Title: Such a great tool!!
Review: As someone whose job it is to sit in a chair all day, this book is a godsend. It is just enough information to tell you why and how to stretch but not so much information that you skip the reading portions. It is very well written and is easy to understand and has already made a difference in my well-being. The instructions are clear and the pictures are very helpful! My favorite part is the routine section in the back. I have five post-it note bookmarks numbered 1 through 5 and each week I have been moving them to the five stretches for that week. Makes it super simple to navigate through the routine, although by day 5 I had it memorized. I have been recommending this book to friends and family left and right! And now I am recommending it to you!

Title: Great guide, definitely recommend!
Review: Found JoeTherapy on Instagram a while back, and loved his super helpful videos on stretching, muscle releases, strengthening, and how to improve on everyday posture/exercises. Due to my work, I often wake up stiff or feel tight after work. I have definitely improved from Joe's recommendations, and I'm so glad I got his book as a handy reference to target different areas of my body that I may need to focus on, but also working on my entire body. I like the jump start routine at the back of the book to help me develop a whole-body stretching routine. The pictures are clear to make sure I'm in the correct position, and descriptions/explanations of the target muscles are helpful! Recommended this book to my mom too!

Review: I checked out several books before finally deciding to purchase this one. This book had everything I wanted; it was clear and concise. Excellent photos to clearly show the position and placement for a proper stretch. The stretches ranged from simple "beginner" stretches to more complex "advanced" stretches. Best of all for me - the author provided a series of daily stretching routines you could follow. And these routines varied from simple to more advanced. It was like having a trainer guiding you throughout the process. Highly recommend this book.

Review: Stretching had been almost completely missing from my regimen for quite some time, and I had begun to feel the effects. Having followed Joe Yoon on Instagram for a while and found his content really useful, I decided to buy his book.'Better Stretching' is really well written. It provides just enough, but not too much information about anatomy and physiology. The exercises are simply explained and extremely well illustrated, with clear, colour photos, showing varying stages of the movements, from a variety of angles. I found it quite easy to quickly progress from opening the book for the first time, to beginning to do the exercises.There is enough information to completely design your own routines, focusing on areas you might want to emphasise. Or for anyone unsure of how to get started, the selection of beginner, intermediate and advanced 'Jump Start Routines' is very useful. 2 quick and very simple routines became a regular part of my day shortly after I bought the book: 'Morning Wake Ups' and 'Night Time Soothers.''Better Stretching' has been my go-to guide ever since I bought it, and is the only book on the subject that I recommend to friends.I hope this helps.

Review: Very useful book for someone who just wants to get it right and educate themselves rather than just depending on others. Easy to follow steps perfectly illustrated with pictures
