The Concise Book of the Moving Body

The Concise Book of the Moving Body has been written for the student and early practitioner of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, sports therapy, or any other health-related field. Containing full-colour illustrations, the book is a compact reference guide, clearly detailing anatomical orientation, tissues, in-depth information on joints, and the physiology of bones and muscles. Composite drawings of the body illustrate the major skeletal muscles (posterior and anterior), superficial and deep), including the origin, insertion, innervation, and action for each muscle.

A final chapter by Thomas W. Myers outlines several metaphors helpful to a holistic approach to structural and movement therapies, and describes a map of the larger functioning continuities within the musculo-skeletal system.

Reviews/Endorsements:
"A very comprehensive book, which provides an in-depth study of the muscular system as well as the skeletal system. Well researched, well planned, and beautifully illustrated...a must have for students and practitioners alike.
