"I have a lot of anatomy books that are yoga specific. I haven't had a great grasp on muscles despite my motivation to learn them on my own, this book changed that for me. The muscles are clearly drawn with examples of how they are used in our everyday movements. If you are looking for a medical grade anatomy book, that is easy to use with out dumbing down the content, then this is the way to go."

• I'm a massage therapist, and this book was a freakin' godsend when it came to studying for my MBLEx. It covers the lion's share of muscles you will need to know, plus it goes over bones, attachments, actions, and provides a fantastic visual aid. If you feel lost when it comes to finding a good anatomy book, look no further. This book is worth every penny.
• This actually wasn't a required reading for my class, however a peer of mine had a copy and after skimming, I realized that I needed it!
  
  If you're serious about memorizing each of the muscle origins, insertions, actions and innervations as well as bones, ligaments and other body landmarks, this book has amazingly great-quality, detailed sketch photos and extremely easy to follow text descriptions. Most of the book is layed out with photographs and various paragraphs of information, so it doesn't feel or look like you're reading a textbook. "Trail Guide" is a surprisingly accurate name for this, because instead of throwing facts and information at me, it feels like I'm just following simple instructions.
  
  One of the best aspects of this book is the palpating instructions. Everything that can be felt is given a detailed image and paragraph of suggestions. I also like that it's spiral bound, so I can flip the pages all around without the hassle of a spine trying to close the book.
  
  Overall great quality, easy to read textbook that I highly recommend for any PT, PTA or healthcare student who needs to know and understand the aspects of anatomy.
• I use this book in conjunction with the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook and this book comes as a recommended aid by Mac, the inventor of the Pso-Rite. He uses this book a lot and though my knowledge of muscles is far less than his, I found using it alone wasn't good enough for me because I needed to better understand the causes of some of my pain. This book doesn't go into the details like that, but I love the illustrations and they are far more description than in Clair Davies Trigger Point Workbook.
  
  I'm able through the illustrations and some of the explanations better assess my own personal issues and maybe the root cause and how to tackle, address and eliminate my physical issues.
  
  I am not a student of any type of physiology, but just a person who works out, has pain in the body and wants to be more informed as to how to get rid of the pains and understand the body just a little more.
  
  The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is for someone who isn't studying physiology or some type, you'll need at least one other book to help you be able to get more use out of this book. I already have the last 2 editions of Clair Davies books.
  
  Also love that this is spiral bound because I am forever bending pages, so this really helps. But it is a textbook.
• I have a lot of anatomy books that are yoga specific. I haven't had a great grasp on muscles despite my motivation to learn them on my own, this book changed that for me. The muscles are clearly drawn with examples of how they are used in our everyday movements. If you are looking for a medical grade anatomy book, that is easy to use with out dumbing down the content, then this is the way to go.
• Great book for learning all the muscles, and their online videos are great too. It groups muscles and helps by giving easy ways to learn them.
• Seriously. Goodbye Palmer and Epler's Foundations of Musculoskeletal Assessment. Trying to use those photos for palpation was really difficult as a former DPT. This book is fabulous. I only regret I had known about this book before cause the photos are awesome. Seriously finding palpations makes performing the MMT's ten times easier.
• In terms of Myology, definitely the best text for learning Origins, Insertions and Actions; also very helpful Palpation tips and techniques. The Osteology in here is also superiorly organized.
  
  The best thing is that each muscle is isolated and the I/O is shown highlighted on the bone. In Netter's everything is pretty much lumped together b/c so much material is presented at once; here it is isolated to Osteology, Myology and some Palpation, so it makes it easier to learn where the muscles are. Definitely the best book I've used this year.
• Love this book. When it was delivered by mail, the postal carrier folded it and screwed it up. I asked for a new one and for them to mark it do not fold. Seller instead sent it by a package delivery service. Fast! In perfect condition. The sellers are amazing! The book is amazing! THANKS! I also bought their phone app! Fantastic app! I used the app to discover that pressure in my temple was jaw related and immediately made it go away using their pictures and trigger points. I did use two different release points to get full release. I also used it for foot cramps that hurt like crazy, bending two toes down. Two different points used to release it and had no cramps until I stepped on another small bit of bone a dog left on the floor. A little acupressure and cramps stopped again. LOVE IT!
