Rating: Summary: Excellent resource and guide to musculoskeletal anatomy Review: This is an excellent book! Chock full of information, good drawings of anatomy/bones/muscles, etc. from all sorts of angles and interesting views. Essential for honing palpation skills for anyone studying or presently doing bodywork. The 2001 revised Edition is a total revision and has a lot more information than the previous 1997 issue. Worth the money.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book Review: Trail Guide to the Body is an invaluable resource for any massage therapist or body-worker wanting to know the intricacies of the body, and the correlation of the muscles and bones. The illustrations are incredible, showing wonderful detail. Written information is concise, informative, and thoroughly presented. Muscles include such information as: the action, insertion, origin, and nerves. Palpation is also shown along with instructions on "how-to".The authors have also recently released flash cards for the muscles and another set for the bones. I absolutely loved them and carried them around with to study. Awesome book! Great reference and one book that I refer to time and time again!
