Trail Guide to Movement breaks down often complicated kinesiology concepts into easily understandable concepts by using daily functional movements as illustrated examples. You will uncover the interconnected elements (including bones, fasciae, joints, muscles and other structures) that work together to create the larger / complex aspects of human movement.
The author, Andrew Biel, asks you to join him as he builds the body from scratch, and begins this journey by designing four key structures for movement: connective tissue, joints, muscles and nerves. Then, after applying some bio-mechanical principles, the reader puts the body to the test by exploring the concepts of posture and gait.
Trail Guide to Movement is written using the same approach and with the same encouraging voice / subtle humor as the iconic Trail Guide to the Body series, making the study of human movement easy to understand, captivating, and memorable. And, to reinforce your knowledge, there are more than 100 review questions found in the back of the book.
Included when purchasing this book is access to the online student resources. You will automatically gain access to powerful learning resources and study aids that include student chapter review question answer keys, glossary of terms worksheets, and video series. Never before have kinesiology and human movement been presented in such a fun, enjoyable and interesting way.

You could say that Books of Discovery was born out of frustration. As a bodywork student and later as an instructor, I was disheartened by the lack of information available at the time about palpatory anatomy. That began to change in October 1994. It was 3 a.m., and not being able to sleep, I pulled out a pad of paper and scribbled something about a book that "connected together the dots of the body." Before falling back to sleep I wrote, "The Body's Road Map."
Over the next three years the book began to take shape. A lucky break came when one of my students, Robin Dorn, turned in an exam that was illustrated with beautiful drawings. I designed the book to meet the needs of all bodywork modalities, whether it is physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage therapy, sports medicine, chiropractic, yoga, or Pilates. Trail Guide grew quickly to become a required or highly recommended text in many bodywork schools throughout the world.
Over the past six years I have often remarked that we offer more than "how to find muscles, bones, and more." Our books and other products help practitioners locate structures so they can apply their skills accurately. It will always make us feel proud knowing that a mother in Portland, Maine or an athlete in Sarasota, Florida or even a bricklayer in Liverpool, England is receiving quality bodywork from a practitioner who has benefited from our products.
