Anatomy of muscles. Illustrated guide

The new edition of this classic manual is a comprehensive guide to all muscle groups. Easy to use and accompanied by all necessary illustrations, the publication provides complete information about each muscle in the human body, visually showing its location, innervation, action, and offering exercises to strengthen and stretch it. The format of the manual allows the reader to identify the location of specific muscles and to identify them. Special attention is paid to muscles that bear the main load and are therefore prone to injuries when performing various household tasks and during sports activities. Each chapter dedicated to a specific part of the body includes a general overview of the corresponding musculature, examines the structure of the skeletal system, muscle layers in cross-section, muscle attachment points, as well as provides a brief reference table and a list of major nerve pathways. The chapter on the muscles of the pelvic floor is of particular interest to those who practice yoga and pilates. Although the book is primarily aimed at novice professionals in anatomy, massage, physiotherapy, chiropractic, yoga, and pilates, it will be useful for athletes and anyone studying the functioning of the human body.
