Applied Anatomy and Physiology for Manual Therapists is a clear, accurate, simple, and comprehensive AandP textbook thatand#160;addressesand#160;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 AandP 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.
Synopsis
This is a multi-purpose resource that helps students focus on essential information. Although it is primarily intended to support this textbook, its design also allows it to be used as a learning tool for those using other textbooks or as a standalone AandP review guide for practicing therapists. Activities offer learners multiple ways to work with the information. Each offers a new and different way of looking at body system information, rather than a simple repeat of the textbook content. Group activities provide creative study options for student study groups or classroom exercises for instructors. Additionally, the Study and Review Guide includes short multiple choice quizzes organized by unit rather than by chapter. This encourages students to consolidate and integrate their learning, and helps prepare them for comprehensive testing.and#160;
