https://www.amazon.com/Stretching-Anatomy-Arnold-G-Nelson/dp/1492593648The above book is the best one on stretching,
and the really excellent artwork shows you clearly what and why you are stretching it.
After my Mom’s right side stroke in 2018 I “learned the hard way” that lifting a 120 lb person from a wheelchair and up onto a hospital bed needed to be done “just so” or there would be suddenly two disabled persons in the house.
My two brothers and I apparently inherited easy to injure shoulders from one or both parents, as well as the all too common back limitations.
Stretching the right muscles, tendons and ligaments for a minute or two before,
sure beats the “after” of hurting for two weeks.
I am not into believing the Hindu religion part of Yoga,
but a lot of those ancient Yoga “poses”
seem to be good stretching science.
