I think this book might be useful for those with more patience than me. I saw the author on a health show - can't remember which, and she was so interesting and informative that I immediately requested her book from my local library. She did these facial exercises that were really impressive. Unfortunately for me, her engaging manner didn't translate well to paper. I didn't realize that there's special equipment required and that I would find much too much information on the human anatomy. The exercises she demonstrated on television were also not even mentioned in the book which was very disappointing. checked out from Washington Co.

This could be titled a detailed manual for using your foam roller.

Could have easily been a pamphlet...too much needless repetition.
