Susan M. Lark, M.D., one of the most respected women’s alternative medicine experts, has written this book to share with her readers the great stretching programs that she developed for her patients, family and friends. Stretching exercises should be part of everyone’s fitness program. They create suppleness and flexibility in the body, improve circulation and oxygen levels to the organs and tissues and promote peace, calm and a balanced positive mood. Stretches enhance the youthfulness of the body and have anti-aging benefits. They also help to prevent muscular stiffness, tightness and soreness that women of all ages experience.
