5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and informative guide to muscles, 17 Feb 2004
By A Customer
As a physiotherapy student, this book has provided me with everything I need to know about muscles. The diagrams are clear and colourful, information is accurate, and there are lots of useful extras that you don't find in other similar books; such as functional movements, common problems and injuries, and stretches and strengthening exercises.

I previously bought Stone's Atlas of Skeletal Muscles, but saw this and decided to swap - it is so much clearer and more useful!

Thoroughly recommended for anyone studying this subject area!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for sports therapy students, 24 Sep 2003
By David Woods (Co. Antrim, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a current sports therapy student and a Personal Trainer based in N.Ireland, i can thoroughly recommend this book. Having brought the Atlas of skeletal muscles by Stone et al, I can state this book is superior. The diagrams are clear and colourful in comparison. It is colour coded and shows muscles in context, as supposed to isolation. Therefore i have no hesitation recommending this to fellow students.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best muscle book, 12 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I have seen various muscle books that were ok, including Paul Blakey's and Stone's Atlas, but when I found this one I realised that it was what I had been looking for. It is clear, concise and I liked the additional advice on stretching and stenthening. The pictures show exactly the origin and insertion and give extra information such as basic functional movement and sports which commonly use the muscle. A must have book for all Sports masseurs/ physios etc
