A complete, lecture-based anatomy course that covers the muscles, bones, and joints of the moving body-perfect for dancers and movement-oriented therapists Learning anatomy requires more than pictures and labels. It requires a way "into" the subject-a means of making sense of what is being shown. Anatomy of the Moving Body addresses that need with a simple yet complete study of the body's complex system of bones, muscles, and joints, and how they function.
