The Concise Book of Muscles Fourth Edition

I am so glad that I found this book. The contents are exactly what the title says. If you want to know about muscles and what each muscle does in terms of movement, attachment etc, this is the book for you. The diagrams are beautiful and so detailed. I am a first year university OT student and this book has proved invaluable for my anatomy revision exams. I can't recommend this book highly enough especially for medical disciplines such as OT, physiotherapy. Well worth the price paid.

Great study guide to accompany my course. Well written and informative .i really enjoy using this book.

Used this book for the muscles element of my ITEC L3 some years ago now. Use the book to show clients issues they have and how they can alleviate the problem with exercise stretches. This book is easy to read and digest. Love it. Have now purchased a new book as the other one is rather shabby. This one had a great Muscle Poster and is a larger book than my last edition. Thoroughly recommend. Buy it!!

The book is as described and contains all the info needed for my course. However, the delivery by Amazon was terrible. It got delivered to a different address in error which was nowhere near my house and the Amazon driver even called at my house to say he had put it in the wrong house. Why post it if not sure it’s the right place? Luckily the person at that address dropped it off for me and the book was in good condition.

Great book! It is broken down into easy to use chapters to either use as reference to dip into or read cover to cover. Must read for fitness professionals and sports therapist.

Great overview of the muscles in the body

Very good book for fiziotherapists, masseuses. Very simple and clear, showing each muscle and how to work with it.

It was super useful book with a very good price .

Just search for your body part visually and identify which muscle it is. It tells you how to exercise that muscle and how to stretch that muscle. I've used it to diagnose myself dozens of times now. One of the big ones was a muscle pulling on the outside of my knee making it impossible to do deadlifts or squats. Started doing hamstring curls before deadlifts, et voila, the problem vanished.

Useful not only for doctors, but also for physio therapists, and gym coaches.

Conciso e con una grafica basilare, offre uno sguardo a colpo d'occhio sulla funzione dei principali muscoli. Non è chiaramente un testo per approfondire ma per un approccio rapido è utile, didattico e ben fatto.

I am so happy with this easy to use book. The drawings are clear and easy to understand. Also included are stretches and exercises for each muscle group. This book has saved me hours of research on the internet, trying to figure out which exact muscles are involved in my different aches and pains. I only wish there were more exercises illustrated and a better explanation on how to do them, but I understand they were limited with space. I refer to this book regularly. Worth every penny.
