Anatomy of Movement presents a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body.

In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines. 

In this new 3rd edition, the author provides access—through QR codes—to 100 short videos that enable the reader to better visualize the movement of various anatomical structures of the body.

—American Council on Exercise, Recommended Reading List

—Daria Pace, Instructor Trainer, Romana’s Pilates®

"Calais-Germain truly understands the musculoskeletal system, its functional anatomy and potential dysfunctions. This book is a 'must-have' for bodyworkers."
—John E. Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., author of Craniosacral Therapy

"Anatomy of Movement is a wonderfully concise and accessible resource for the training of instructors at the New York City Ballet Workout."

"A beautifully thought-out and exceptionally well-illustrated book."
—Massage

"Fills a great clinical need. No other book describes function and structural realities of movement so clearly and simply."
—Michael Smith, M.D.

"This work is truly by one who understands movement. Calais-Germain shows her respect for the logic of human anatomy and biomechanics, and reveals her experience in dance. The text is a necessity for all dance teachers and students in their pursuit of further knowledge of the art form."
—Moira McCormack, MSc, MCSP, SRP, Lecturer in Anatomy, Royal Academy of Dance

"Our students love it! The consistent sequencing of information about each body region helps students develop a thinking process about that part, i.e., 'This is how it's put together, so this is how it works.'"

This shelf is easy to hang, comes with great anchors and looks perfect. The quality looks nice and is was an easy hanging process compared to other shelves. Worth it for the price.

One of the best deals available!
Color: White, Size: 2 Pack
Extremely sturdy, good looking and easy to install. I have a couple of dozen feet of assorted lengths in the kitchen, bedroom, living room and foyer. Holding all sorts of antique clocks, audio equipment and cooking stuff from my flours and assorted cornmeals to cases of powdered “lemonade”.

Mounting system doesn’t align on one of three shelves.
Color: Walnut, Size: 3 Pack
Nice shelves. Install was super easy except on one of the three shelves. The main mounting shelf holes were off so the shelf will not slip onto horizontal mounting poles unless I modify the shelf. So a 20 minute job becomes a two hour job. The mounting system does appear very sturdy just not aligned.

Perfect little chair-side table!
Color: Rustic Brown + Black, Item Package Quantity: 1
I can plug in my tablet, sit my wine glass on it, and my phone, keep a pen holder handy, and store my current reading material - all out of the dog's damage zone due to the tiny space I was able to fit it in. Easy to assemble, including 1 extra screw and bolt, just in case. I did have to use a screw-starter (drill would also work) to get the screws in for the plug unit, but that was no big deal. Very happy with this purchase!

Great Set!
Color: Rustic Brown + Black, Item Package Quantity: 2
I purchased the set of 2 and they were delivered in one box shipped together. Fair cost for what's received, I was needing these for my couch side and recliner. Buying the set ensures both tables are identical in style and height. It's the right amount of tallness for drinks and remotes. It seems pretty durable but will tip easily if not against the wall. The feet that offer leveling do not have any traction and may easily slide if not on a carpeted area. The folding basket fits snug and has enough room for a throw blanket, some of your favorite games or balled up cables. The basket only pulls out from the long side, so up against the wall it will not be pushed out by your cat. The plug works as intended but is essentially a mounted extension with 2 USB ports. This brings the plug out from behind the couch, love it. Assembly took around 10 minutes each - 20 minutes total. Every peice was individually wrapped in plastic. I was missing some hardware but my husband had some extra. The allen key driver tool and the mounting screws for the plug insert didnt come with my set, everything else was accounted for. I built them from the top up with no tools and no problems. If you over tighten the legs they will crack in the plastic threading a may cause a loose fit. Works great for our use and we're glad we got them! If the sliding feet is an issue, just fill them with hot glue and reinstall.
