Atlas of Musculo-Skeletal Anatomy

The Atlas of Musculo-skeletal Anatomy is the 'parent' of the best-selling 'The Concise Book of Muscles', and has been written as the complete reference guide for all students and practitoners of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, or any other health-related field. Containing over 500 full-colour and 50 balck and white illustrations, it is unusually clear, accessible and readable.

Chris Jarmey qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1979. He also studied acupuncture and osteopathy in the early 1980's. He is the author of several best-selling books, including The Concise Book of Muscles. Chris teaches body mechanics, bodywork therapy, and anatomy extensively throughout Europe.

The first part of The Atlas of Musculo-skeletal Anatomy 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, blood supply, action, and kinesiology test for each muscle. Thorough research and cross referencing of material from an extensive range of authoritative sources has resulted in a book that can claim an unusual degree of exactitude of information.

Reviews/Endorsements:
"A well laid-out reference book that bodyworkers will turn to for a comprehensive coverage of the bones, joints, and muscles of the human body, with clear illustrations and extensive information about each one."
