Something the world hasn't yet seen-You can forever be more flexible.

The technique: Resistance stretching offers immediate, cumulative, and permanent increases in flexibility, takes the pain out of stretching, and protects you from injuring yourself by overstretching.

The program: The meridian flexibility system provides stretches for sixteen unique muscle groups with physiological and psychological benefits.

Here's what people are saying about this new way to stretch:
