Anatomy of Movement is a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body. In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author takes the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise and other physical disciplines. "Calais-Germain truly understands the musculoskeletal system, its functional anatomy and potential dysfunctions. This book is a ‘must-have’ for bodyworkers." - John E Upledger. "Anatomy of Movement fills a great clinical need. No other book describes function and structural realities of movement so clearly and simply." - Michael Smith.

Using hundreds of drawings and photographs, this companion volume to ‘Anatomy of Movement’ describes and illustrates specific exercises for strengthening each part of the musculoskeletal anatomy. Each of the exercises prepares the body to respond well to the demands of specified movements, and can serve as the basis for more specialised or complex exercises associated with various physical disciplines or therapies. Arranged by body region, the text covers characteristic movements, potential sources of stiffness or laxity, strengthening specific muscles and muscle groups, and how to coordinate movements. It is useful not only for athletes, dancers and aerobic exercises, but for bodyworkers as well.

This book addresses anatomy, physiology and pathology, specifically aimed at the massage therapist. It provides a solid base for the student and early practitioner to learn the physical make-up of the body, giving a broad introduction to the body's physical functioning. The emphasis is on the body systems and aspects most relevant to the dynamics of massage, such as muscle activity, stress response, tension and relaxation, and the effect of touch. The book looks at: terminology; chemistry of the body; cells, tissues, organs and body systems; movement systems - the main bones and skeletal muscles; communication systems - the nervous, endocrine and immune systems; maintenance, growth and repair - the respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, urinary and reproductive systems.
