Book Reviews of Trail Guide to the Body: How to Locate Muscles, Bones, and More (3rd Edition)
Book Review: Pictures are really clear, simple to learn from
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures in this book make learning anatomy a lot more fun. The section on bony landmarks is excellent. The section on the planes of the body and ranges of motion are also uncomplicated to learn from. For example, the pictures on the ranges of motion of the neck made it really clear how to figure out the difference between rotation and lateral flexion.
This book was really good to help me study for the national certification examination for massage and bodywork. Other books that I also recommend for studying for the national certification examination include,
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Kinesiology) Volume 1
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Clinical Pathology and Recognition of Various Conditions) Volume 2
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers (Topics: Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Theory, Assessment, and Application. Professional Standards, Ethics, and Business Practices) Volume 3
These study guides had important, relevant questions and answers that showed me what was important for the national certification exam.
Trail Guide to the Body is a keeper.
