The Concise Book of the Moving Body by Chris Jarmey & Thomas Myers

This best selling book  has been written for the student and early practitioner of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, sports therapy, or any other health-related field. Containing full-colour illustrations, the book is a compact reference guide, clearly detailing anatomical orientation, tissues, in-depth information on joints, and the physiology of bones and muscles. Composite drawings of the body illustrate the major skeletal muscles (posterior and anterior, superficial and deep), including the origin, insertion, innervation, and action for each muscle.

A final chapter by Thomas W. Myers outlines the Anatomy Trains with several metaphors helpful to a holistic approach to structural and movement therapies, and describes a map of the larger functioning continuities within the musculo-skeletal system.
