practicle for therapists4
This book was on the recommended reading list for my degree course at uni. It is well structured and clear to understand with a depth of knowledge required for most practising therapists or bodyworkers. The diagrams are clear and coloured in a way that enables the bodyworker or palpator to identify very specifically the bone or muscle that he/she is seeking.
Newest edition now ring-bound which is more practcle.

The best guide to the body for any therapist5
I was recommended this book by a friend who is a therapist when I started out on my aromatherapy course. Having to learn all the A&P that goes with massage techniques was a major stumbling block for me. However with this book finding muscles and parts of the skeleton and how it all came together has been a dream. I recommend it. My tutor was so delighted with it that he has ordered copies for the college library. Just get this book you will find it is the best book you can ever have and it is so easy to follow and understand, with the most fantastic diagrams I have ever seen. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Great Help - Sports Therapies5
