Muscle Anatomy. Illustrated Handbook
39.99 €
This new edition of this classic manual is a comprehensive guide to all muscle groups. Easy to use and accompanied by all the necessary illustrations, it provides complete information on every muscle in the human body, showing its location, innervation, action and offering exercises that can be used to strengthen and stretch it.
The format of the reference book provides the reader with the ability to locate specific muscles and identify them. Particular attention is paid to muscles that bear the brunt of the load and are therefore prone to injury in a variety of everyday tasks and sports. Each chapter on a particular body part includes a general overview of the relevant musculature, looks at the bony system, cross-sectional muscle layers and muscle attachment points, and provides a brief reference table and a list of the main nerve pathways. The chapter on pelvic floor muscles is of particular interest to those who practice yoga and Pilates. Although primarily addressed to beginners in anatomy, massage, physical therapy, chiropractic, yoga, and Pilates, the book will be useful to athletes and anyone studying the functioning of the human body.
