Product Description
Book Description
A unique pocket reference guide to how the body works
Product Description
The leading sports massage expert Mel Cash now publishes this indispensable guide to the human muscular and skeletal system. It contains all the most relevant information needed to understand how the human body moves and maintains posture, drawing together knowledge from several different areas of medical science and presenting it in a clear and simple style. There is nothing similar available on the market, and the book is essential for all students of human biology, medicine and physical therapy (orthodox and complementary), and anyone involved at any level in sport, exercise, or dance. The 40 specially commissioned colour illustrations, plus 25 line drawings, provide a full picture of the human muscular and skeletal system, and the accompanying text explains how they may become injured, and the various other causes of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A little handy primer,
By
This review is from: The Pocket Atlas Of The Moving Body (Spiral-bound)
This book is a great handy primer for those on anatomy & physiology courses who need something to carry around with them as they learn the muscular-skeletal system of the body.The big plus for this book is the comb binding which allows the book to be opened flat, or worse, folded over. The artwork is clear, and covers the major muscles and bones, with additional tables setting out the origins and insertions, and the origins of ennervating nerves. In short, a good buy.

New edition *with corrections* superb for students,
By
This review is from: The Pocket Atlas Of The Moving Body (Spiral-bound)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely one forthe students,
This review is from: The Pocket Atlas Of The Moving Body (Spiral-bound)
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!!
