Containing full-colour illustrations, this guide details anatomical orientation, tissues, in-depth information on joints, and the physiology of bones and muscles.

It is useful for the student and early practitioner of anatomy, massage/bodywork, physical therapy, medicine, physiotherapy, sports therapy, or any other health-related field.

'The Moving Body' explains, with plenty of clear drawings, the usual anatomical directions, regional areas, planes of the body and so forth, this concise book introduces each of the main skeletal muscles.

The information given is clear, user-friendly and easy to understand (technical terms, which can be a turn-off for the budding anatomist are explained in parenthesis throughout the text). Two pages are devoted to each muscle (except for the less important ones), the left page for drawings of the muscle, and the right for text about its origin, insertion, action, innervation, basic functional movement and the sports that heavily utilize it.

The fact that the meaning of the Latin or Greek names are explained which helps to memorize them. In addition, the left page shows in pictorial form some fundamental exercises to strengthen the muscle and others to stretch it. Most of the exercises to strengthen the muscles require weights or machines and should be practised with caution while some, should be avoided if the reader doesn't want to have to buy a concise book on muscle injuries as a consequence!
