By Chris Jarmey The Concise Book of the Moving Body, Second Edition, details human anatomy, including the musculoskeletal system, joints, nerves, and everyday movements. The text is fully illustrated, with more than 500 full-color drawings, making it a perfect resource for movement-oriented therapists, students, and athletes.The Concise Book of the Moving Body is broken down into nine easily digestible chapters, covering anatomical terms, tissues, bones, the axial and appendicular skeletons, joints, peripheral nerve supply, the musculoskeletal system, and the musculoskeletal system in everyday life. In addition to anatomical illustrations, color tables list each muscle’s origin, insertion, nerve, and action. The second edition has been updated with the addition of two new chapters. Chapter 7 focuses on the peripheral nervous system. Throughout the chapter, the relevant somatic peripheral nerve is listed with each muscle. In addition to nerve origin, the clinical significance of important nerves is explained. Chapter 9 addresses the functional musculoskeletal system, focusing on the anatomy that controls basic movements required for everyday activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, and running. While designed for the student and beginning practitioner of anatomy, massage, bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic medicine, physiotherapy, yoga, and Pilates, this second edition of The Concise Book of the Moving Body is equally useful for athletes and anyone interested in the workings of the human body.
