5 out of 5 stars Reference for OTs and PTs   November 29, 2005

I found this book (older edition) at one of my clinical sites. It it well put together and easy to follow. This is a great text for students who are learning MMT. I only wish that I had know about this book sooner.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Have For All Body Therapies!   March 17, 2004

This is an excellent book.
It is a important reference book which I use and read cover to cover. The biggest plus about this book is the concept of alignment, and the various grouping of restrictions and weaknesses within the body. It shows this and explains these (rectrictions vs weakeness) very clearly and specifically which makes it easy to pick up theses patterns in people's bodies.
Although there are better books which are set out better, the commentary and insights contained within the book are invaluable.
It is a bit of a bible in many physical therapy circles.
Don't get too caught up, and remember that this book should only be a start point as things are more complicated than this.

If you ever needed to know what all the muscles in the body were, where exactly they attached to the skeleton, what movement they created, and ways to test how strong they are this is the bible. As a physical therapist, this has been an invaluable book to have both as a student and as a clinician.
