An essential, portable study tool, this is a set of anatomy flashcards printed in a small, thin 8.5 x 11 booklet of 2 perforated cards per page.  Essential to student success, this study tool is for all massage students containing  88 cards showing various labeled anatomical images applied to therapeutic bodywork.  Multiple muscles per card promotes relational/pattern learning.  Unlike traditional flashcards, each side of each card has self-contained information.

  • A perfect tandem with Tappan's handbook of Healing Massage Techniques, as it presents all the body structures that are relevant to the hands-on modalities introduced in Tappan's. 
  • Unique useful format.  The flashcards come in a perforated paperback 8 1/2 x 11 book with two cards on each page.  Easy for bookstores to stock and easy to carry.
  • Oversized flashcards allow for a large, clear presentation of full-color labeled images.
  • Organized by muscle groups and body regions, and provide additional key information like coverage of joints/ligaments and synergistic muscle groups.
  • The set contains about 100 cards showing various labeled anatomical images applied to therapeutic bodywork.  Anatomy is essential to the study of massage practice and these cards summarized the essentials in an easier-to-use visual presentation.
  • Multiple muscles are presented per card, which promotes relational/spatial/pattern learning.  This fosters deeper comprehension.  Competitive card sets only present one muscle per card, which fosters mere memorization.
  • Each side of the card displays self-contained information about muscles, origins, insertions, actions, and nerves.  This allows users to use the cover/recall technique, which is faster and better suited for adult learning.  No flipping back to front.
  • Includes physiology and synergistic muscle illustrations designed specifically for massage therapists.
