Pocket Atlas of the Moving Body: For All Students of Human Biology, Medicine, Sports and Physical Therapy

A leading sports massage expert publishes his indispensable guide to the human musculo-skeletal system.

Containing only the most relevant information needed to understand how the human body moves and maintains posture, leading sports-massage therapy specialist, Mel Cash, draws on knowledge from several different areas of medical science and presents it in a clear and simple style.

There is no other guide like it on the market — it’s essential for all students of human biology, medicine and physical therapy (orthodox and complementary), and anyone involved at any level in sport, exercise or dance.

The 40 specially commissioned colour illustrations and 25 line drawings provide a full picture of the human musculo-skeletal system, while the text gives clear explanations of the various causes of musculo-skeletal pain and dysfunction.

Mel Cash has been a massage therapist since 1985 and, through his books, has become one of the world’s leading authorities on the subject. He is principal tutor of the London School of Sports Massage, and has lectured in anatomy and physiology at the University of Westminster.
