Excellent for teaching,
I teach A&P to massage students and we have just finished four months from this book. It is thorough and readable. Not perfect, but I haven’t found anything better.

|This is a MUST have book,
This book is way better than I thought it would be. The way things are explained throughout the book makes it so much easier to understand the actions of muscles. Even describes how to palpate the muscles on a partner. What to look for and what it should feel like. The variety of pictures helps too. The DVD was exceptional. Showing an overlay of the muscles on the person he’s palpating really helped to “see” the muscles. And he did a fantastic job explaining step by step how to locate, palpate and engage the muscles. Definitely helped me out in school. I wish I ordered it sooner! I highly recommend the workbook and flashcards too. You won’t be disappointed!
