Applied Anatomy and Physiology for Manual Therapists is a clear,
accurate, simple, and comprehensive A&P textbook that addresses the
needs of students in manual therapy education programs. It is a
focused text that deliberately emphasizes the information manual
therapists need to be familiar with in order to understand the benefits,
effects, indications, and contraindications of their specific form of
manual therapy. The text includes detailed information not covered in
standard A&P texts, adding an entire chapter on neuromuscular and
myofascial connections (Chapter 8), and separating the structure and
function of the lymphatic system (Chapter 11) from immunity and healing
(Chapter 12). This, along with chapter features such as Manual Therapy
Applications, Pathology Alerts, and What Do You Think questions, help
readers build bridges between the scientific facts and the application
of that information to their therapeutic practice.
