Product Description
This book has been written for the student and early practitioner of anatomy and physiology, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, or any other health-related field. Containing full-colour illustrations, the book is a compact reference guide, clearly identifying all the major muscles, showing the origin, insertion, action and innervation of each muscle. The book also uniquely illustrates examples of stretching, strengthening exercises, which allows the reader to develop an understanding of the mechanics of movement.
Previous books on this subject have shown muscles as flat images. This one takes readers "inside" the muscles, explaining their mechanics and function in words and pictures. Illustrated with realistic three-dimensional drawings by a leading medical artist, the book is for anatomy students and practitioners of physical therapies, massage, chiropractic, and physiotherapy, as well as nursing and medical personnel. A handy lay-flat binding aids readers in gaining a deeper understanding of each muscle. Product Details

Reviewer: Dawn Kingsland from , Not available
My instructor recommended this resource for our pilates certification group. It was an invaluable resource in preparing for the anatomy exam required in the trainer certification. The illustrations are excellant. The pratical application to specific exercises and related stretching were easy to carry over to the pilates method. It was further useful in our movement analysis project. It gave easy to understand information about location and insertions of the muscles. I think it would make a great reference book for anyone who loves and seeks optimal physical fitness.
