Summary: Excellent book for reviewing the actions of muscles
Review: This book is good if you want to know exactly what action each muscle performs in the human body. It is listed as a reference for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. It is quite good for the kinesiology portion of the NCETMB. However, if you really want a great book that is filled with on target questions for the NCETMB get the following which is on amazon.com:
