The powerful lower body system is the focus of this preeminent myoskeletal textbook. With thorough integration of the latest research, Dalton delves into the biomechanical structure and function of the lower back, hips, legs and feet.

Manual therapy exercises and techniques expand on this understanding of the interrelationship between anatomy, the brain, and movement in the lower body.

Upper body
Further developing the foundational knowledge laid out in his first textbook, Dalton dives deep into myoskeletal bodywork techniques for the head, neck and thorax. Detailed explanations on human anatomy and physiology cover the interlocking roles of the nervous system, muscle tissue and connective tissue. This detailed understanding of how the upper body works makes it easier to diagnose the source of chronic pain in the torso, neck, shoulder and arms. Dalton is able to illuminate not simply what to do to relieve pain for massage clients, but why.

Rich with 3-D anatomy illustrations, human dissection reproduction, and images demonstrating the techniques, the information in this textbook will advance the efficacy of any bodywork practice immediately. 3rd Edition with five new chapters by Erik Dalton.
