Applied Anatomy & Physiology For Manual Therapists Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
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.

A previous commenter thought that Archer and Nelson's APPLIED ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY FOR MANUAL THERAPISTS was broadly written and aimed at a high school audience. Perhaps it seems that way because the information is easily understood and engaging. But look again at the wealth of information it contains. I'm constantly surprised by the many details I didn't know. Not many writers can make technical information to be accurate and interesting, but Archer and Nelson pull it off beautifully. They also discuss relevant information from other modalities and schools of bodywork that have given me many Aha! moments. (I'm working on a certification exam in craniosacral and am finding it extremely useful as a starting place when trying to understand issues that don't make sense as presented by other authors.) I look forward to wearing this book out, and in the meantime, it is on my A list of anatomy references. As for high schoolers...if only they could be so lucky to have this as a text!
We use this book for my anatomy class at East West School of Healing Arts and I have to say that I wish the book were a little more detailed and advanced, and also that the school utilized all of the information. Its a whirlwind quick overview, basically highschool biology.
Once again - BAD KINDLE EDITION - Although the text inside this book is valuable and well writtenðð»âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸, the publishing company obviously does not care about quality and ease of use - only money. ðð»There are only location points and no page numbers. It wastes HOURS of studying time spent in the school library referencing search terms (that might work - that is trial and error) to replace the page numbers our teachers very reasonably put in the syllabus. It is a waste of the teachers' time to figure out freaking location points for an eBook that the publishing company should have put in before Kindle Release if they were even halfway competent. LWW isnt even competent enough to have a website with a working call button on their front page, and bad formatting elsewhere.I am left with the options of wasting valuable time, or falling behind in my required reading because this process is a pain the nuisance, or reading at the school library, which is free...but the text is inconsistently available.I don't plan on purchasing another LWW text. They can fix their problem while I *hope* my school library has a copy on hand every time I need it.
It's adequate for most massage exams, but you will need to go else where for "med school" depth. The index is frustrating and missing much of the contents, so it's a time consuming process trying to find that tidbit of info for a paper or to tweak a session for a client.
If you need this for school, buy the hard copy. It will be so hard for you, to the point where you'll end up buying a hard copy anyway. This book is useless without knowing where to look. The publisher should not market e-textbooks without page numbers.
The organization of the chapters help you learn and the review questions reinforce the subject matter. This book is just what I was looking for.
Helpful in more than one way. Helpful in supplementing the information in the book, but also great to use as a study tool
Great product. It was on time, no problems. School book nothing too special about it in reality.
