Editorial Reviews

"It is my strong impression that you have uncovered an entirely new discipline of healthcare."

Dr. Joseph Mercola

"I do not think that I could have made my fourth Olympic Team without Bob's help. Thank you, Bob, for allowing me to feel and perform better than I ever thought possible."

Eric Flaim

"The best trainers in the world have put their hands on me from Sweden to Japan. And nobody knows what Bob knows."

Charles Austin

"What Bob has created is not a trend — it will change the way the world will exercise forever!"

Joni Evans

"Without the flexibility training that Bob developed for me, I could have never accomplished the five Olympic medals I won in Sydney....I also know that Bob's program single-handedly developed me psychologically in very specific ways. With this mental edge, I felt unbelievable. There was no part of me that wasn't improved....What he has figured out about stretching no one knows yet. The world will give Bob the Gold."
