Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com What Are You Looking For? | Customer Rating: | I bought this book as I am studying complimentary therapies and anatomy and physiology is a big component. My intention was for it to be as an extra study aid but I think that I would have preferred something that offered a little more. The book is okay and does what it says. If you are studying the muscular system and you need to know a large amount of inofrmation, look for something else. | Very handy little book | Customer Rating: | Just bought this book as a quick reference for when giving massages and I am not disappointed. It is very handy to use and the spiral binding is excellent and very adequate for the type of book this is as i can leave it open flat while massaging and don't have to fiddle with it continuously. It does just what it says, but of course doesn't replace the bigger more detailed/thorough books on muscles and anatomy. This book is for taking with you when you're out and about and can't /don't want to take the bigger books. Great quick reference guide. | New edition *with corrections* superb for students | Customer Rating: | | The new edition of this little book has all the mistakes corrected which marred the last edition. This makes it the most useful, portable booklet I have seen. It covers trunk and limbs systematically with clear illustrations of the bones and ligaments first, then the muscles in their different layers. It also contains charts of muscles, origins, insertions, innervation and function for each of the muscles by area. Further short sections on joints, posture and movement patterns, types of muscle contraction and muscle fibre types, nerve supply, energy systems and common types of injury make this book invaluable. | Definitely one forthe students | Customer Rating: | | As a teacher of Body Massage, Beauty Therapy and Holistic Therapies at a further education college, I feel this book offers, clear, colourful pictures, easy understanding of how the body moves, all in a neat and moderately priced book. This is a useful and quick teaching aid that the majority of my students have found(on recommendation) useful - I should be on commission!! |
