Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition by Theodore Dimon Jr

Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition by Theodore Dimon Jr

A complete, lecture-based anatomy course that covers the muscles, bones, and joints of the moving body--perfect for dancers and movement-oriented therapists

Learning anatomy requires more than pictures and labels. It requires a way into the subject--a means of making sense of what is being shown. Anatomy of the Moving Body addresses that need with a simple yet complete study of the body's complex system of bones, muscles, and joints, and how they function. Beautifully illustrated with over one hundred 3D images, this second edition contains thirty-one lectures that guide readers through this challenging interior landscape. Author Theodore Dimon Jr. describes each part of the body in brief, manageable sections, with components described singly or in small groups. He goes beyond simply naming the muscles and bones to explain the exact terminology in everyday language. Other topics include:

- The etymology of anatomical terms
- Origins and attachments of muscles and their related actions
- Major functional systems such as the pelvis, ankle, shoulder girdle, and hand
- Major landmarks and human topography
- Structures relating to breathing and vocalization

This edition features all-new illustrations that use a 3D digital model of the human anatomical form. Thorough, visually interesting, and easy-to-understand, Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition is an ideal resource for students and teachers of the Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques as well as for practitioners of yoga, Pilates, martial arts, and dance.

Dr. Theodore (Ted) Dimon, founder and director of the Dimon Institute in New York City, is an educator, author, and leading expert in the Alexander Technique. Dimon earned his Master's and Doctorate degrees from Harvard University in 1987, making a detailed study of human evolution, comparative anatomy, and educational theory. Through this research, in combination with his practical hands-on experience, he discovered new principles of how the human being is designed to work and function. Since then, Dimon has helped thousands of people overcome chronic musculoskeletal problems and achieve higher levels of consciousness. Dimon's other books include The Undivided Self; The Elements of Skill; The Body in Motion; Neurodynamics: The Art of Mindfulness in Action; and Anatomy of the Voice.
