Applied Anatomy & Physiology for Manual Therapists is a clear, accurate, and comprehensive anatomy and physiology (A&P) textbook that addresses the specific needs of the manual therapy student.
Unlike standard A&P textbooks, Applied Anatomy & Physiology for Manual Therapists emphasizes need-to-know information for understanding the benefits, effects, indications, and contraindications of manual therapy. For example, it contains an entire chapter on neuromuscular and myofascial connections (Chapter 8), and separates the structure and function of the lymphatic system (Chapter 11) from immunity and healing (Chapter 12).
Special features help students grasp the connection between A&P science and manual therapy practice.
Applied Anatomy & Physiology for Manual Therapists presents A&P science in an accessible manner, with special chapter features aimed at engaging students who often struggle with retaining A&P knowledge from education to clinic. These include:
