Franklin Method® Ball, Band and Imagery Exercises for Relaxed and Flexible Shoulders, Neck and Thorax, 2nd Ed

Improve your movement patterns with the help of imagery techniques and exercises that incorporate Franklin Method® Balls, Bands, and the Franklin Mini Roll™.

Body posture and movement are imagery driven. If the image doesn’t correspond to the way the body is designed, the result will be a steady decline in function. Franklin Method® exercises help you discover your movement patterns, restrictions and tension. Learn how to improve your movement patterns using imagery techniques and exercises that incorporate the Franklin Method® Balls, Bands, and the Franklin Mini Roll™.

This updated second edition includes new guidance, new photography and new imagery exercises, including exercises featuring Franklin Bands to awaken your proprioceptors, body awareness and breathing patterns for the complete mind-body exploration experience.
