Trail Guide to The Body

Excellent resource for those studying physio or physical therapy. The videos available online are also an excellent addition to this manual. In future editions, it would be great to see an edition or section on pelvic floor physiotherapy methods. With the rise in pelvic pain sufferers, I think this would really benefit those considering this occupation in the future. Maybe its too complex and needs its own book or series, however.

This book is a must-have if you’re studying anatomy, massage therapy, physio — anything hands-on with the body. Trail Guide to the Body doesn’t just throw Latin names at you — it teaches you how to feel and find every muscle, bone, and structure with your own hands. The illustrations? Super clear. The descriptions? Actually understandable. And the palpation tips? Total game-changers. I’ve used it in class, during practice, and even on myself when I want to review something. It’s like having an anatomy teacher sitting beside you, guiding you through each part of the body. Seriously — if you work with the human body, get this book.

I bought this for a kinesiology class, but it was so good that I ended up using it for other classes too! For the class it was initially required for, it became very handy for learning all of the muscles. It contained very good and easy to follow diagrams, with strong explanations for each muscle location, origin/insertion. Truly a great resource. I hung on to it for advanced anatomy the following semester, and it also helped me succeed in a much harder practical! This is a great resource for medical, PT/OT, and any other health professions students. It has unique diagrams since it is climbing themed, and I loved that too!

I love the book!!! It makes very easy to understand the way it’s written. The shipping company also very professional!

Great book for learning all the basics

Buen libro (en inglés) de un autor puntero en la enseñanza de la anatomía. 💯 Recomendable
