Anatomy of Movement (Revised Edition)

Fantastic book. I'm an acupuncturist and for the last 8 years, I've been specializing in orthopedics and sports medicine. There was a bit of a learning curve for me in doing that because in order to do that, I had to go outside of the realm of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I really wish I would have found this book a long time ago, I had to piece together a lot of the material that in it on my own. Had I found it back then, it would have saved me a lot of work. Great resource.

I liked the drawings, which were clear and simplified and yet detailed. Some other books on anatomy were too ambitious in their figures or photos and led to confusion with too much detail. The movement descriptions were helpful in understanding how all the pieces operated and fit together. I wanted more direct implications for dance movement considerations, exercises and stretches. However, it was an introductory tomb, so I will use it in conjunction with more dance specific books.

This book was recommended to me by my pilates training instructor and has been so helpful in my journey to become certified. Highly recommend. The illustrations help break down complex body questions and I love the way the book is outlined. It's pretty much a full text book/manual and I'm sure will need to be referenced many times over the years for different client issues.

The book has simple and clear illustrations and concise text. The book seems best suited to readers who already have some experience studying anatomy. It then serves as a great refresher, touchstone, and unique re-integrator of points of reference that have been forgotten, mis-understood or misplaced in the memory.I found the point of view elegant and the organization of the information flowed in a useful way that I found simple to follow and understand. This also makes it easier to bookmark and refer to.I'm very glad to have this book as part of my working collection of reference books and study guides.

Muchos de mis colegas profesores de yoga tienen y recomiendan este libro, así que lo compré. Pero personalmente me pareció un poco aburrido. Está muy bien si no sabes nada o casi nada de anatomía y biomecánica. Es simple y fácil de leer. Pero yo estudio Fisioterapia, ya domino algo del tema y me lo encontré muy básico. Es muy buen libro para introducirse pero si ya tienes conocimientos medio avanzados resulta muy básico

Fantastic book and required reading for any serious yoga practitioner or teacher. I'm sure most customers are probably in medical school that need this, but regardless of why you need this book, know that it is brand new, has sharp, detailed pictures and explanations, and is at the top of the list for anyone desiring to learn more about how the human body moves, what parts of the anatomy are utilized, and a broad overview of anatomy in general. For beginner and intermediate levels.

This is a really awesome book. The author/illustrator is a dancer, which adds a wonderful perspective to the body movements she illustrates. Whether you are a dancer, a yogi, a runner, or an athlete of any stripe, this book will help you figure out what's going on with your activity. For me the best two uses are helping me understand what I am doing in the gym so I can fine tune my workouts, and, since I practice personal injury law, helping me understand my client's injuries.

I have another anatomy book (Ray Long) required in my training, colorful and a little bigger than normal book, but this book is super, more specific and informative. Recommended for yoga practitioners and yoga teachers.

good read

Well packaged so it came to me in brand new condition. It is exactly what I need for the course I’m studying.

Libro meraviglioso con illuminazioni a matita perfette e brevi didascalie descritte alla scoperta dell'anatomia del corpo umano e delle infinite possibilità di movimento

関節の動きなど大変詳しく書いてあり、参考になりました。また、色がついていないので自分で色を塗ってわかりやすいようにカスタマイズできるのがいいです。

Bought this book for one of my dance classes in uni. It's good for dancers and learning about movement through the body.
