This book has been written as the complete reference guide for all students and practitioners of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, or any other health-related field.
The book is arranged in two parts; the first section covers the anatomical movements, tissues, the physiology of bones and muscles, and in-depth information on the joints. The second part of the book clearly identifies the origin, insertion, innervation, action and blood supply (extensively cross-referenced) for each skeletal muscle.
“I bought this book as a teaching aid and reference book. The clarity of information, both visual and textual, is outstanding. Everything about this book exudes quality…truly a work of art and inspiration.” Reader comment, taken from Amazon.co.uk
