This book has been an absolute necessity for me as a massage therapy student! It has been much better than our required anatomy textbook for getting a good look at and understanding of the musculoskeletal system. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to learn these areas of anatomy and especially for those working with massage/bodywork. A tremendously helpful book!

One of the most comprehensive massage books, the easiest to read and with THE best pictures - showing anatomy drawings superimposed on photos of clients - in various different positions! Reccommend it to all remedial/deep tissue massage students.

This book is the best I've seen so far regarding anatomy and treatment for massage therapists. The illistrations are very easy and clear to understand. This is not the book I was given in the massage school I attended, but it's the one I use and recommend to other therapists.

I bought this book along with many others to help in studying for the national exams. I don't remember how helpful it was for the exams, but I refer to it often in my practice.

I have focused on therapeutic bodywork, and if that's where your interest lies, I think you'll find it a great reference. The book uses photos of models with the anatomy superimposed. This makes understanding application of the therapy very easy. In some photos, the practitioner is applying therapy and you can see how it affects the tissue involved. It's also a good reference for communication with a client.

The book covers many of the pathologies I've encountered so far, and most of the common ones. Unfortunately, it is rather short and I wish it covered even more in the same manner.

There is also a very good treatise on assesment.

I find myself refering to either this book or Frank Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy before any others that I have.
