"Get Stronger by Stretching by Noa Spector-Flock is a thoughtful, well-organized
exercise manual that will allow non-athletes and beginner to professional athletes to
increase their knowledge and understanding of stretching exercises. Through clear and
accurate descriptions, along with excellent drawings and actual photos of the author
demonstrating the stretching exercises with Thera-BandŽ, the reader will be able to realize
the benefits of improved flexibility, strength, and movement.
The accompanying three videos provide further in-depth understanding of each exercise
along with the proper use and function of the band with each particular exercise. Get Stronger by Stretching with with Thera-BandŽ is an excellent addition to any healthcare provider's library; I highly recommend this stretching exercise manual for all
individuals who want a better understanding of muscle physiology and to learn to perform
proper stretching techniques."

From Physical Therapy volume 82 #11, Nov. 2002 Most physical Theraist are familliar with the Thera Band excersise band and thier use as a theraputic tool in excersise programs. Noa Spector-Flock uses Thera Bands as an adjunct to a workout that was developed who are interested in health and fitness...... Unlike many excercise and fitness books that concentrate on excercises as means of creating a "meaner and leaner" look, this book focuses on excersise as a means of improving what Spector-Flock calls "harmony and effeciency of movement."........ Physical theerapisrs working with preforming arts therapy clients who shun the "gym" approach to excersise will find this book valuable as a recommenfation for thier patients and clients who seek an alternative excercise approach.
