order to answer some frequently asked questions about stretching and

Although each chapter may refer to sections in other chapters, it is not
required that you read every chapter in the order presented. It is
important, however, that you read the disclaimer before reading any other
sections of this document. (See "Disclaimer"). If you wish to skip around,
numerous cross references are supplied in each section to help you find the
