A book that has stood the test of time. September 29, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Now in its 5th edition, this book has become "thee" muscle testing book to have. Who's it for? Anyone who has a need to be able to MANUAL muscle test any of the body's muscles. This would include such professionals as doctors, nurses, physical therapists, athletic trainers, personal trainers, etc.
How does the book work? Well, you look up the particular muscle you want to test, look at the picture of the test position, and then simply apply manual pressure to the limb in the instructed direction. If it sounds easy, it is the way this book shows you- included are dozens and dozens of GREAT pictures that show you precisely what to do. So, if you have a need to regularly test muscles, I highly recommend you get this book- it's a little bit more expensive than some of the other muscle testing books, but its the best I've come across so far- in fact it sits right on my desk for reference. Health professionals might also be interested in The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for clients suffering from plantar fasciitis.

There are not that many books in the field of manual muscle testing that also include assessment of posture and that also include that much theory. Even if it is written by physiotherapists it should be of interest for many other health care providers in the field of manual therapy or orthopedics. The strong part of this book is the anatomy and the clinical reasoning. The book also comes with a CD-ROM from Primal picture which is the same that is included in some other books. The CD-ROM is a light version of the more expensive ones but rather okay.
