The concise book of the moving body has been written for the student and early practitioner of anatomy, massage/bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, sports therapy, or any other health related field. Containing full colour illustrations, this book is a compact reference guide, clearly detailing anatomical orientation, tissues, in-depth information on joints, and the physiology of bones and muscles. Composite drawings of the body illustrate the major skeletal muscles (Posterior and anterior, superficial and deep), including the origin, insertion, innervation and action for each muscle.

A final chapter by Thomas W Myers outlines several metaphors helpful to a holistic approach to structual and movement therapies, and describes a map of the larger functioning continuities within the musculo-skeletal system.
