Great textbook!

Reviewed in Canada on 16 September 2015

Verified Purchase

One of my favourite textbooks I've used from being in an Occupational Therapist Assistant & Physiotherapist Assistant program. Very beneficial to students learning in-depth musculoskeletal anatomy. Easy to read and simple to understand; an excellent hands-on guide to locating and determining functions and movements of different muscles. The illustrations are wonderful, and overall the textbook is laid out very well. Strongly recommend it, along with the Trail Guide to the Body Student Workbook. Perfect combination!

Best Anatomy Book for Massage Therapists!

Reviewed in the United States on 7 November 2010

Verified Purchase

This is by far one of the most user-friendly and easy to use means of learning the bones and muscles of the body for manual therapists and Massage therapists. The illustrations are straight-forward and bountiful. The instructiosn for palpation are simple and direct with illustrations that actually make sense in showing what is being described. The book comes with a copy of hte DVD that walks you through palpation of the major muscles. The book is also spiral bound making it easy to lay it flat and work while using the book as a guide. Plus, it is actually fun to look through, read, and learn from.

I HIGHLY recommend this book, this edition in particular if you need to learn anatomy to increase the effectiveness of your practice, or as a part of your education. It is precise, fun, interesting, simple, and gives you exactly what you need!

The only book on muscles and bony points you'll need

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 January 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm a physiotherapy student and I spent a long time deciding which book to get to help me learn the muscles, their proximal and distal attachments, and how to palpate them. After reading some many positive reviews I plumped for this book and I'm so glad I did. These are the main reasons this book is well worth the money:

1. Comes with a very high quality 3 hour long dvd with demonstrations on how to palpate the different muscles.
2. The fact it's spiral bound means it sits open and makes life much easier than a paperback.
3. The layout makes it quick and easy to get to the information you need.
4. Fantastic detail laid out in a simple way, with fantastic drawings and several different perspectives to make it clear what muscle connects where.

I can see this book being useful throughout my degree and my career too, I can't recommend it enough,

Praktisch, illustrativ und fokussiert - Ideal für Therapeuten - SUPER!

Reviewed in Germany on 9 June 2012

Verified Purchase

Ich habe noch nie ein Buch zu Anatomy gesehen, das so super illustriert ist wie dieses Praxisbuch.
Speziell hervorzuheben ist, dass es den Autoren gelungen ist, die Illustrationen so zu vereinfachen, dass klar ersichtlich ist, um was es bei einem Handgriff im Detail geht. Dies ist jeweils mit roter Farbe gekennzeichnet. Die Illustrationen sind jedoch auf eine Weise vereinfacht, dass der Gesamtzusammenhang weiterhin ersichtlich ist. Diese Balance, etwas zu vereinfachen und trotzdem das Ganze im Auge zu behalten, ist eine grosse Kunst. Diese Kunst ist den Autoren sehr gut gelungen.
Sehr praxisnah ist auch die Spiralbindung, die ermöglicht, das Buch beim Arbeiten auf den Behandlungstisch zu legen um zu üben. Die vielen guten Illustrationen helfen, dass das Buch auch mit wenig Englischkenntnissen einen grossen Nutzen bringt.
