Anatomy of Muscles. Illustrated Guide

The new edition of this classic guide is a comprehensive reference for all muscle groups. Simple to use and accompanied by all necessary illustrations, this publication provides complete information about each muscle of the human body, clearly showing its location, innervation, function, and offering exercises to strengthen and stretch it.

The format of the guide allows readers to determine the location of specific muscles and identify them. Special attention is given to the muscles that bear the primary load and are therefore prone to injuries during various household tasks and sports activities.

Each chapter dedicated to a specific part of the body includes an overview of the corresponding musculature, examines the structure of the skeletal system, the muscle layers in cross-section, and the points of muscle attachment, as well as providing a brief reference table and a list of major nerve pathways. The chapter on pelvic floor muscles is of particular interest to those practicing yoga and Pilates.

Although the book primarily targets beginner specialists in anatomy, massage therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga, and Pilates, it will also be useful for athletes and anyone studying the functioning of the human body.
