(More customer reviews)I'm currently assisting with an anatomy and kinesiology class at a massage school in Seattle and have found this book to cause some confusion amongst students due to a number of errors. We have recently switched to this text but will be switching back to our previous text(Trail Guide to the Body)as a result. For an example check p.320 where you will see that iliacus and psoas have been switched in diagram 8-6A.

With the use of dynamic visuals and kinesthetic exercises, Functional Anatomy helps readers to explore and understand the body's structures, regions, layer of the body, from bones to ligaments to superficial and deep muscles. Muscle profiles indicate origin, insertion, and innervation points while step-by-step instructions teach effective bone and muscle palpation.
Readers will also learn how structures help the body move through joint motion, and passive and resisted range of motion techniques. Each region ends with the culmination of structure and function to illustrate how they function together to achieve motion of daily activities as well as the movement involved in sports.
