Trail Guide to the Body, 5th Edition, A hands-on guide to locating muscles, bones and more

Before you can assess or treat a muscle, you first must be able to locate it. This acclaimed book delivers beautifully illustrated information for learning palpation and the musculoskeletal system. It makes mastering the essential manual therapy skills interesting, memorable and easy. With 504 pages and 1,400 illustrations covering more than 162 muscles, 206 bones, 33 ligaments and 110 bony landmarks, this text provides an invaluable map of the body.

This new edition includes an extensive 56-page appendix that describes the common trigger point locations and pain patterns of 100 muscles.
Trail Guide to the Body is a highly recommended textbook for the state licensing tests administered by both the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) and is one of only five books on their official examination reference lists. In addition, the Board of Certification program for athletic trainers in the U.S. uses our high-quality Trail Guide to the Body illustrations in their various products, including exams.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK EVER FOR A PHYSIO STUDENT
Reviewed in Canada on 28 June 2016
Verified Purchase
As a physiotherapy student, this book was my SAVING GRACE. Litterally. All the pictures were in color. It detailed tips and tricks for palpation and location of landmarks (muscles, bones, tendons), and gave a step by step to finding them with patient position alternatives, as well as mnemonics to memorize them. It also considered female and male anatomical differences which I was impressed by.
Honestly, if you're a Kin, an Osteopath, a Physio, or most of any health care professional, do get this book. It's like a mix of the netter's and a guide as well.

It gives you a recap of all your anatomical structures with pictures, including innervations, origins, insertions, etc.
