I read Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain,
Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance by Dr. Kelly
Starrett and Glen Cordoza in part because my son told me it was magic for
resolving his pain issues. It
covers a lot of the same territory as Jill Miller’s work with Yoga Tune Up
Balls, but with a slightly different perspective, what I would have to describe
as a more, well, male approach focusing on power generation and performance
enhancement.
I like power generation and performance
enhancement, and if it improving those things motivates the men I know to
improve their relationships with their fascia, I’m all for it. There is plenty of theory in the book,
but those who don’t want to fill their heads with it don’t need to read those
parts. The sections that focus on
mobilization for each area of the body may be of most interest to the practical
folks, unless they are particularly interested in one painful area.
I will, of course, use it as a
handy reference, so clients may find themselves leopardized!
