MTGP has been a cornerstone text in massage curricula since its first edition in 1998. Since then it has evolved to meet both the changing needs in massage therapy education, and changing information in the field of pathology and massage therapy research. The 6th edition puts increased focus on understanding pathology concepts and how they impact practical application in the session room. Using well-established educational building blocks, it takes learners from key-word vocabulary through to complex decision-making in its signature accessible, friendly style.
Set a solid foundation with the new edition of LWW’s bestselling pathology text for manual therapists!
This cornerstone book of the massage curriculum is the most comprehensive, visually appealing, and respected title to cover the pathologies that massage therapists must be familiar with. In the fifth edition, Ruth Werner's A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology the focus on not only explaining the disease, but also its applicability and indications in massage therapy.
Frank Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy 5th Edition is another must-have book for all of medical school and beyond, and serves as an excellent reference and resource for Anatomy class and the Surgery clerkship later in medical school. It also comes with Student Consult, which is an online resource library of other illustrations, supplemental learning resources, and anatomy dissection guides.
Widely praised for its student-friendly style and exceptional artwork and pedagogy, Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain is a leading undergraduate textbook on the biology of the brain and the systems that underlie behavior.
Now in its sixth edition, The Physiology of the Joints, Volume Three is illustrated in full color, rewritten and enriched with new text. Conceived and written over forty years ago, it has brought back to center stage biomechanics, which previously was dismissed as anecdotal in works on human anatomy. As a result of this impetus every work on anatomy nowadays covers in depth the functional features of the locomotor apparatus; in short, biomechanics has become a science that cannot be ignored.
Now in its sixth edition, The Physiology of the Joints, Volume Two: The Lower Limb is illustrated in full color, rewritten and enriched with new text. Conceived and written over forty years ago, it has brought back to center stage biomechanics, which previously was dismissed as anecdotal in works on human anatomy. As a result of this impetus every work on anatomy nowadays covers in depth the functional features of the locomotor apparatus; in short, biomechanics has become a science that cannot be ignored.
This text provides the reader an understanding of the mechanics of the joints with the help of diagrams rather than text. The commentaries are short (on double page spreads); the quality, clarity and simplicity of the drawings and diagrams are such that they could be understood without any verbal explanation. The drawings are unusually clear: everything which could hinder understanding has been removed and one feels that the author has foreseen the difficulties which the student could encounter.
A convenient and easy way to study the essential information about skeletal muscles, peripheral nerves, and muscle group actions. Cards are a study aid to accompany the latest version of the famous anatomy/kinesiology reference Sieg & Adams classic, Illustrated Essentials of Musculoskeletal Anatomy or any other anatomy text.
“This neuroanatomy book is a must have when studying a neurology module. Its illustrations and diagrams are a great help in understanding a somewhat complex topic. It's coherently written and pitched at the right level, which makes it an easy read and light work on the eyes when cramming! It's difficult to pick out a best chapter, as all are extremely good and highly relevant.”

This pain care professional's classic provides a muscle-by-muscle description of how trigger points refer pain to other parts of the body.
This pain care professional's classic provides a muscle-by-muscle description of how trigger points refer pain to other parts of the body.
This Second Edition presents introductory general information on all trigger points and also detailed descriptions of single muscle syndromes for the upper half of the body. It includes 107 new drawings, a number of trigger point release techniques in addition to spray and stretch, and a new chapter on intercostal muscles and diaphragm.
For the first time, technology allows unparalleled animations of gross motor movement that show how groups of muscles become active during common motions such as jumping, walking, and running. Interactive Functional Anatomy, Second Edition, answers a clearly identified need in the teaching and understanding of body musculature and motion. This is an excellent resource with painstaking attention to detail and dynamic imagery. The software features computer graphic models of human anatomy derived from MRI scan data, and fully interactive 3-D animations show function. Pop-up labeling appears as you view the 3-D models, and you can click on any structure to bring up related text and all related animations of muscular function.
If you want to differentiate your psoas from your scalenes or just want to ace the next quiz, you'll find the answer here. This handbook follows the chapters and structures as they are arranged in the Trail Guide to the Body textbook. A resourceful complement, this handbook contains 220 pages and 450 illustrations. It offers a variety of questions and exercises including fill-in-the-blanks, drawings to color, illustrations and matching exercises.
As the human body moves, muscles contract and relax, creating subtle changes in body contours and shifting patterns of light and shadow on the skin's surface. Visualizing exactly what happens beneath the skin to cause these changes on the surface is an essential skill for artists, physicians, physical therapists, and body builders — for anyone who needs to understand the body in motion. Why not paint a live model to look as though his skin had been stripped off and then photograph him in multiple poses? From that idea comes Visualizing Muscles, an innovative aid to drawing, sculpting, and learning surface anatomy. More than one hundred static and active poses are included in Visualizing Muscles. Paired photographs — one painted and labelled, one not — show how the simulated muscles produce the subtle lights and darks, hills and valleys, on the model's unpainted skin. Captions highlight the muscles called into play by a given pose.

This is a short, highly illustrated textbook of neuroanatomy that makes clear the relevance of the anatomy to clinical neurology. It avoids overburdening the reader with topographical detail that is unnecessary for the medical student. Minimum assumptions are made of existing knowledge of the subject.
The practice of healthcare, with its numerous imaging and therapeutic modalities, has made understanding basic anatomy and its alterations in disease more vital than ever before. As a result, anatomy has evolved from a pure science to an applied science that emphasizes the clinical implications of anatomical structures.
Succinct text and over 420 classic Netter and 50 new Netter-style images help students acquire a deeper understanding of complex clinical anatomical concepts.
