Muscles: Testing and Function (Kendall, Muscles) / / 2010-09-02
It was nice to have the postural information in the same book as the tests. I'm an older therapist and it is nice to have a good book.

This is a great book! I bought it for a class I'm taking and I will probably keep it forever. I am studying to be a Physical Therapist and this book really seems wonderful for all of the muscles, tendons, etc. Great, great learning tool!!!

Shipped quickly. Came packaged and in perfect condition!

The best book on Muscle Testing / / 2010-02-18
As a certifed personal trainer and pilates instructor, I work primarily with individuals who are challenged with back pain and various joint problems. This book provides a clear and concise protocol and information for working with individuals with muscle imbalances. You definitely need a strong background in this area to understand and use the material appropriately. The DVD is also an excellet companion to the book.

Fantastic Tool! Must Read For Fitness & Therapy Practitioners! / / 2009-09-30
In this latest edition of the classic Physical Therapy textbook, the organization of the information has been overhauled and it contains less chapters. I never read the previous editions, but the author claims it is better organized. I found it to be well-organized indeed.

The photos are great, including the classic black/white pictures demonstrating the different tests. The anatomy drawings are very good with excellent detailed descriptions of functional anatomy. The Primal Pictures CD-ROM included with the book is awesome. You can rotate anatomy diagrams 360 degrees while adding and removing anatomical structures such as ligaments, stabilizer and postural muscles, prime movers, veins, arteries, nerves, etc. It's a fantastic tool! I'm currently using some images for a couple of articles I'm writing on corrective stretching and strengthening. It is most certainly a must read for fitness and therapy pros.
