Upper Body Chapters
Neck Chapter (Duration : 9.22s)
There are many reasons for ongoing neck problems. The pain levels can range from irritation to severe. This is because there are more neurological connections between the emotional centres of the brain and the muscles of the neck, jaw and shoulders than any other muscles in the body. This chapter 
will explain the triggers to neck problems and the 3D animation will show how the neck functions and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will both overcome current problems and prevent future ones. HD Video perfect for your tablet, smart tv, computer or mobile device. DL-V101 The Complete Neck Chapter. From The Upper Body Stretch for Life DVD.
- Jaw Chapter (Duration : 5.25s)
When the tension in the jaw muscles builds up from over-use, the drag on the attachment point can cause the tendon and even the bone to inflame. Stretching on its own is usually not enough to rehabilitate jaw muscles, but combined with massage, the results are great. If your jaw clicks then your jaw muscles are too tight or the joint is too loose or hyper mobile. This chapter will explain the triggers to jaw problems and the 3D animation will show how the jaw functions and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching and massage routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.
- Upper Back Chapter (Duration : 24.01s)
Essentially with the upper back there is forward, backward and sideways bending, plus rotation. Apart from the paraspinal muscles down either side of the spine, the muscle groups are a little more obscure. The upper back is basically composed of the thoracic spine, the rib cage and related muscles.
One of the most common reasons for discomfort and pain in the Upper Back Zone is the forward stoop presentation. This increased curve in the upper back is created by many factors. Poor posture is a huge contributor. This chapter will explain the triggers to upper back problems and the 3D animation will show how the upper back functions and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.
- Shoulder Chapter (Duration : 23.57s)
Intense pain between the shoulder blades indicates your shoulders are dragging forward too much. Intense pain on the inside of the shoulder blade means your shoulders are too far forward and the muscles at the back can’t cope with the strain. The back muscles are sore because the front muscles are too tight. Two other common conditions that befall the shoulder is supraspinatis tendonitis (when it is painful on the 
tip of the shoulder) and frozen shoulder (when the whole shoulder seems to have completely seized up making any movement very painful). This chapter will explain the triggers to shoulder problems and the 3D animation will show how the shoulders function and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.
- Arms & Hands Chapter (Duration : 18.41s)
Most problems in this Zone occur in the forearm and elbow. These are caused mainly by repetitive strain or occupational over-use syndromes. Significant pain and loss of function can really affect your ability to carry out simple activities. The flexor group on the front of your forearm curls the wrist, hand and fingers. The extensor group pull the hand back and straighten the fingers. All of the 
flexor muscles attach to a point on the inside of the elbow while the extensor group all attach to a point on the outside of the elbow. Herein lie the problems for the forearm. This chapter will explain the triggers to arms and hand problems and the 3D animation will show how the arms and hands function and the reasons for discomfort or pain.

- Lower Back Chapter (Duration : 41.35s)
There are many reasons why you get a sore lower back. Too much sitting, inherited tendencies or poor habits will contribute. In simple terms it is because there is too much tension in some muscles and too much slack in others. The mechanics of the spine, sacrum and pelvis become dysfunctional and you become increasingly susceptible to injury. Mostly there is a gradual build up of tension over time, 
the body adapts to this until it can no longer accommodate such levels of tension. Then some small event happens and you end up in huge amounts of pain. This chapter will explain the triggers to lower back problems and the 3D animation will show how the lower back function and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.
- Hips and Pelvis Chapter (Duration : 24.11s)
Pain in the groin is common. The muscle usually involved is the Hip Flexor or Psoas. It is attached to the front of each of the lumbar vertebrae. It traverses through the pelvis and exits at the groin attaching to the upper thigh bone or Femur. Tightness in this muscle can cause inflammation at its attachment point creating pain in the groin.
The main muscles that cause grief are called Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus. They are the smaller cousins of the bigger buttock muscle Gluteus 
Maximus which is looser by nature. These muscles are often tight and the pain pattern is typically quite defined to the lateral hip area. This chapter will explain the triggers to hips and pelvis problems and the 3D animation will show how the hips and pelvis function and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.

- Knees and Thighs Chapter (Duration 28.02s)
Ligamentous straps hold the knee joint together and the muscles that come down from the thigh, wrap around the knee and attach to the lower leg. Muscle pain typically presents in the belly of the muscle or where it attaches to the bone. A painful joint is often the tightness of the muscle pulling at its attachment point. Pain on the inside of the knee is likely excessive tension in the Adductor group – the muscles on the inside of the leg. Pain above, below or under your knee cap could be excessive tension in the Quad group. Pain at the back of the knee can be the result of hamstring tension. Pain 
on the outside can be excessive tension in the ITB. Cartilage disc or ligament damage can be another reason for pain in the knee. This chapter will explain the triggers to knee and thigh problems and the 3D animation will show how the knees and thighs function and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.

DL-V203 The Complete Knees and Thighs Chapter. From The Lower Body Stretch for Life DVD.
- Legs, Feet and Ankles Chapter (Duration 13.13s
Our feet and ankles do a huge amount of work. They are like springs. Arches length ways and across the fore foot act like shock absorbers. They are held and maintained by muscles and ligaments in the foot and up into the leg. A number of common situations can result in foot, ankle and leg problems.
Excessive muscle tension in the leg prevents the foot from flexing thus placing more strain on the spring dynamic of the foot and muscle attachments. This commonly presents as Achilles tendon inflammation at the back of the heel. Also shin splints where the 
muscle on the front of the leg (shin) is pulling excessively at its attachment to the bone. This chapter will explain the triggers to legs, feet and ankle problems and the 3D animation will show how these function and the reasons for discomfort or pain. The stretching routines will overcome present problems and prevent future ones.
