Anatomy of Movement > Customer Review #1:
A Definitive Classic

This is the most useful book on anatomy written for those interested in the practical applications of anatomy to movement therapy, athletic performance, dance or martial arts. It provides an excellent foundation to understanding body mechanics.

Anatomy of Movement > Customer Review #2:
Excellent introduction to anatomy and kinesiology

As other reviewers have said, this is an excellent introduction to anatomy and kinesiology. The book strikes the perfect balance between clinical detail and practical knowledge for body-workers, athletes and dancers. We have copies of several pages up on the wall at my Pilates studio which get referred to often.

All the major skeletal muscle groups of the limbs and torso are covered. It is not a disection manual. It is organized for students of movement. Of particular value is the section on the work of the psoas and the "psoas paradox" that is somewhat controversial.

To get more in depth, one text I can recommend for the dancer/Pilates instructor is "Dance Kinesiology" by Sally Sevey Fitt.

Excellent review of ... ligaments!

In all of my materials as a massage therapist, none of them covered ligaments functions, names and locations as well as this one! Beautiful illustrations and its a book that makes you get up and move every few minutes as youre reading!
