Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a very technical book. I am not a physical therapist, although I am a medical professional, and this book is certainly written for them more than a person who isn’t intimately familiar with bones and muscles. There is a WEALTH of information in here that is and could be very helpful to diagnosis and treatment of SIJ and pelvic dysfunction. I have read it and did learn a lot. I have loaned it to my physical therapist and asked her to read it enough so that she can do the assessment on me as laid out in the assessment chapter. I would have given this 5 stars had the author made it a bit easier to follow the anatomy. While this is full of nice photos and drawings of the various bones and muscle groups, it would have been most helpful if there had been a series of general diagrams listing ALL the various bones and muscles referred to in the book in one place with the names of each identified for referral to at any point in the reading. I would love to have this gentleman examine and diagnosis my SIJ and pelvic issues!!

⭐Beautifully illustrated, great quality paper, clearly written in wonderful detail. Shows photos of model doing exercises and some “xray” photos showing bones and muscles alongside. I have a lot of anatomy/exercise/movement books and this is one of the best!

⭐I was looking for a book that would give me some information and guidance on movement.I found this book for a practitioner I can’t put any information into in practise. If you are not a physical practitioner.Dont waste your money

⭐Just started reading this book. I love it so far because it is comprehensive yet easy to understand and very well written! Not sure I would recommend this book to the layman because it might be hard to understand. But definitely to occupational and physical therapists, personal trainers I would highly recommend!

⭐This book is too technical for individuals who aren’t in the medical field. I had to return it.

⭐I am a pelvic floor therapist and found this book to be a perfect companion for my practice.

⭐Well written and undesrstandable. Gives you information that really matters!!

⭐Excellent book! Would highly recommend!

⭐as described came on time

⭐Love john gibbons. Always something to learn from him
