Trail Guide to the Body Textbook

Before you can assess or treat a muscle, you must first be able to locate it on the body. This acclaimed book is designed as a hands-on tour that will teach you to palpate the body’s structures with ease and precision. With 420 pages and 1,100 illustrations covering 144 muscles, 206 bones, 30 ligaments and 110 bony landmarks, this text provides an invaluable map of the body.

Whether you are a massage therapist, physical therapist, sports trainer or student in any bodywork modality, Trail Guide to the Body is for you!

“Trail Guide is an essential reference for any hands-on healer. A wealth of useful details is presented in an accessible and easily comprehensive fashion.”

- Thomas Myers, Rolfer Author: Anatomy Trains – Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists

“Finally, a book that does not just teach us about anatomy and kinesiology, but actually teaches how to find your way around the body with your hands. A highly recommended text!”
