Muscle Book - Paul Blakey

Paul Blakey, formerly an international ballet dancer and now a practising osteopath, has written and illustrated this book to help everyone who needs to know more about their own muscles, and how to look after them. The book clearly identifies all the major muscles of the human body, and shows how they work. For each muscle there is straight forward information about first aid by massage, and an indication of particular dangers to watch out for.

All students of physique, and in particular dancers and gymnasts, should find this book useful.

"For all of us who use these muscles and don't know what to call them. This book couldn't be clearer, simpler, or more useful… and it took a dancer/osteopath to write it!"
Robert Cohan, Founder/Artistic Director, London Contemporary Dance Theatre.

"An inspired insight into the desire of the student for a clear and concise text on muscle anatomy by a graduate of this college… I cannot imagine a future new student without it"
Ken Woodward FLCSP (Phys), Principal, Northern Institute of Massage, Blackpool.
