Anatomy of Movement is a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body.

In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author takes the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk.

If you want to learn about anatomy, this is an easy way, which is why it's required reading in almost every massage school.

Brilliant guide to the body in movement. Provides lots of insight into the mechanics of the postures. You'll never think about your body in the same way again. A must for teachers.
