What our customer's say!

"Great resource", I think I have already reviewed this book, but... I thought it was very helpful to my massage practice and would suggest it as a resource for anyone's collection. The pictures could've been clearer, less messy, and precise, but overall, it is a great book.

"Anatomy of Movement", my book came in perfect condition!!! just as the reviews had said. i am really pleased with the outcome. i will be purchasing my books from amazon from now on.
thank you!

"simple, accurate, complete and easy to understand", I'm currently studying to be a yoga instructor and this book is an amazing guide to understand body movement. I highly recomend it. Drawings are very accurate and clear. Explanations are shorts and simple. You can read it in any order you want. Most of all I become more aware of what is doing what in my practice and hope with this I will reduce risques of injury and will help to achieve a yoga poses that i'm still not able to do. Great job! Bravo!

"Very helpful", I'm studying to be a personal trainer and this book was helpful in explaning the planes of movement and the illustrations are very detailed and explaned the location of the muscles used for different movements. One stumbling block I encountered in my studies was abduction and adduction and this book made it so easy to understand. I will refer to this book many times. I have a greater appreciation for the human body and the wonder that is us! This book would be helpful to anyone studying anatomy.

"An excellent visual anatomy reference", Anatomy of Movement is a reference book consisting mostly of diagrams of the body's muscles, bones and joints, along with brief descriptions of how they work together to create movement. The drawings are easy on the eye and excellent in helping to understand how the joints are put together and how they function. It is especially helpful to see each muscle, bone and joint isolated, allowing you to study and understand them individually in contrast to texts that show them all at once. I would highly recommend this book for personal trainers, fitness instructors, sports conditioners, anatomy students, beginning bodyworkers, and others who are interested in a visual representation of the body's anatomy.

"Must Have!", A MUST-HAVE for any student/teacher of any movement-based discipline. I refer to this book constantly. I also see it repeatedly in all the trainings and workshops I have attended.

"Different approach to anatomy", This book is a much more artistic approach to anatomy. In my class we used it along with Muscilino's anatomy book, and it helped both sides of my brain wrap around the muscles and body parts. I think I will be a better teacher because of it.

"easy to read,lots of info", This detailed and easy to read book makes learning anatomy for sports enthusiasts simple.The only thing I would comment on is that if the diagrams were colour coded, eg red for ligaments, green for muscles, it would demystify anatomy further!

"essential for understanding movement", As part of the required course work for my Pilates certification, I now use this book frequently for reference as I try to explain complex body mechanics to my clients.

"Excellent book for beginning and intermediate students", _Anatomy of Movement_ by Blandine Calais-Germain is an excellent book for someone who is new to kenesiology, and also for the beginning and intermediate athlete.

As its title suggests, _Anatomy of Movement_ focuses on the bones, muscles, ligaments & tendons we use when we move. Each major section of the body, such back, arms, legs, etc., gets its own section in the book.

The anatomical drawings are very well done. The book has enough text to explain the drawings, but not so much as to overwhelm the reader. There are drawings showing the directions each muscle pulls in during different types of movements. Those drawings are VERY helpful to understanding the kinesiology of the body.

There was also an extensive section in the beginning on anatomical terms, such as dorsal, dorsiflexion, lateral, anterior, posterior, etc. The sections on the spine, pelvis, & knees were exceptionally well done.

I am not a bodyworker, masseuse, or dancer; but as an engineer who sits in an office chair all day and does martial arts and occasionally yoga to relax, I have developed a keen interest in kenesiology and anatomical studies. _Anatomy of Movement_ didn't specifically tell me the mechanics of any single karate kata** or yoga asana, and it didn't specifically explain why bad posture in a chair leads to a sore back when I walk around -- but it did give me a sound base of knowledge when I started reading other books about specific movements and activities.

** - _Anatomy of Movement_ did help me understand how joint locks on the shoulder work.
