■ For beginners to instructors and therapists. Learn repeatedly! An anatomy book useful for relearning.
When learning anatomy from scratch, it's not easy to grasp even if you try to memorize difficult terms. Also, it's understandable to chase after trendy exercise methods, stretches, and training methods, and shy away from anatomy. However, anatomy is undoubtedly the best science that helps people. Anatomy has no trends or fads.
This book is for physical therapists, beginners who want to learn anatomy, sports and exercise instructors, and anyone who thinks, "I'm not good at anatomy... but I want to study it properly!" and "I want to acquire knowledge in an easy-to-understand way!"
In addition to fundamentally learning about the functions and workings of joints and muscles, it introduces stretching and training methods tailored to each part. It is structured to ensure solid learning by connecting knowledge and practice.
■ Overwhelming visuals make muscle function and mechanisms easy to understand!
When trying to apply anatomy to training and stretching, what is particularly difficult to understand is the action of muscles. Therefore, this book uses numerous illustrations, photos, and videos to explain "what you see" so that you can roughly grasp the "origin and insertion" of muscles.
・Over 300 illustrations: Important and precise illustrations for understanding joints and muscles
・Over 200 photos: Understand stretching and training for each muscle part
・Over 150 videos: Pinpoint explanations of actual postures and movements
You can read from any section that interests you. Keep it handy, and you can check it during treatments and therapies, which will help you understand symptoms.
Understand the range of motion of joints and the function of muscles with authentic illustrations!
Columns from a therapist's perspective are useful!
■ Double the memorability! Master "Anatomy" in 3 steps
This book helps you grasp the origin, insertion, and main functions of detailed muscles in 3 steps.
In Step 1, you learn the muscles of the whole body with illustrations, photos, and videos. Next, in Step 2, you learn the general origin and insertion of muscles, and understand how muscles work. Finally, in Step 3, you learn what happens when muscles are weak or stiff, and confirm it with strength training and stretching.
Three steps useful for guiding stretching/training and treatment.
■ Highly acclaimed 'The Posture Bible' Part 2!
This book, 'Zero Anatomy: Anatomy from Scratch', is the second installment of 'The Posture Bible for Instructors and Therapists'.
The previous book, 'The Posture Bible', is a book that helps understand the components of "posture" from anatomy, kinesiology, and the brain's system, fulfilling the hopes of as many people as possible who wish to "change their posture" and developing the "eye" for proper posture evaluation.
Published on December 27, 2024, with a great response to the pre-held "Book 'The Posture Bible' Linked Project Seminar STEP1", it sold out on Amazon and Rakuten Books in about 3 days after reservations began. It was reprinted before release and has been reprinted multiple times since.
This book, a sequel to 'The Posture Bible', is an anatomy book that Naoki Yoshida, a physical therapist at the forefront of physical therapy and training, confidently presents with 120% conviction for all therapists as the foundation of posture.
