This innovated text is to provide an advanced look at kinesiology and
functional anatomy. Included are learning-intensive guides that will help
students develop palpation skills, support their knowledge base of anatomy,
and build a toolbox of techniques that provide a mechanism for specializing
treatments. This text is a collective effort to explore the curriculum
of kinesiology along with massage techniques, therapeutic exercises, and
flexibility for multiple manual therapies. It is approached from a wide
perspective of needs in multiple manual therapies, massage therapy and
bodywork, athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and
physical fitness. This book help bridge the gap between basic anatomy
and physiology courses. This book is divided into chapters that provide
a close anatomical look at each major joint of the body. The organization
of the book is two-fold: a chapter on joints and muscles of the anatomy
for a particular area is followed by a chapter that teaches specific techniques
of massage for that area.
Kinesiology for Manual Therapies has an accompanying Online Learning Center (OLC) for both instructors and students. To help the instructor there are PowerPoints and test bank questions for each chapter; Image bank of all the illustrations in the text to print and use as handouts; and instructor manual with answers to the student text, lesson plans, teaching strategies, and a course outline; and 3 sample syllabi. For the students there are flashcards per chapter of the key terms; PowerPoints and a practice quiz for each chapter; and printable copies of the worksheets from the student text for extra practice.
This text is for the students in an advance massage therapy course that has prior A&P knowledge. It will also work well in other manual therapy courses such as athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physical fitness. This book will serve as a great reference text also.
