Anatomy of Movement: Exercises, the companion volume to Anatomy of Movement, describes and illustrates, through hundreds of photographs and drawings, a comprehensive series of exercises involving the most common movements of the body. Over a hundred new illustrations were added in this revised edition. The exercises were chosen on the basis of their effectiveness and with concern for their safety. Some are designed to focus on strengthening a particular region or muscle group, others the entire body. Each exercise prepares the body to respond well to the demands of particular movements. Together they serve as a basis for the more specialized movements associated with various physical disciplines and therapies. Presentation follows the sequencing in Anatomy of Movement. For each body region the authors describe characteristic movements; potential sources of stiffness or laxity and how to detect, prevent, and overcome them; how to strengthen specific muscles or muscle groups; and how to coordinate movements. This is followed by practice pages; on which specific exercises are demonstrated.

Anatomy of Movement: Exercises PDF

As a student of dance, yoga, and Pilates instructor I have found the "AOM: Exercises" to be a very useful companion to the original AOM book. It provides deeper understanding of the anatomy involved in posture, walking, and more specialized movements such as plies and jumps. I have used the exercises, which are beautifully basic, to help students with, for example, feet and ankle problems with excitingly good success. Because the exercises appear to be pretty basic to my students, I have found that they will do them more often on their own. I recommend this book for those that need to understand the anatomy involved in every day movement as well as to those that want to enhance theiir dance/yoga/Pilates experience.

Some years ago I incorporated many of these exercises when rehabbing my back after a car accident. The exercises/stretches were practical and effective. I have NO chronic, recurring dysfunction and I credit that in part to staying active with these gentle but purposeful exercises rather than loading up on pain meds and "resting" it. Movement is essential to restoring function! Highly recommend.
