Massage Books
The
Anatomy Colouring Book by Kapit & Elson
This is the best anatomy work book which has been unavailable for a while
and I recommend it to all massage and yoga teacher trainees.
For
over 23 years, "The Anatomy Coloring Book" has been the leading human anatomy
coloring book, offering concisely written text and precise, extraordinary
hand-drawn figures. Organized according to body systems, each of the 170
plates featured in this book includes an ingenious color-key system anatomical
terminology is linked to detail illustration of the structures of the body.
A recommended text book for students taking professional massage training
