Consider Becoming a Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Becoming a Supple Leopard reads like a detailed movement manual: lots of step-by-step drills, troubleshooting cues, and photo sequences aimed at mobility and self-maintenance. Its useful part is practical specificity — clear tutorials for joint positioning, breathing, and mobility work that athletes and coaches can put into practice. Its main limitation is tone and density: frequent technical jargon and repetitious instruction make some stretches of the book feel exhaustive or preachy rather than breezy.”
