What Are You Looking For? I bought this book as I am studying complimentary therapies and anatomy and physiology is a big component. My intention was for it to be as an extra study aid but I think that I would have preferred something that offered a little more.

Further short sections on joints, posture and movement patterns, types of muscle contraction... more info
