Trail Guide to the Body Textbook (4th Edition)

Trail Guide to the Body is the most effective and engaging way to master palpation and musculoskeletal anatomy. And now, the new 4th Edition (with 440 pages) offers even more 

— new illustrations, practical tips, more kinesiology and a complimentary DVD that brings palpation to life. 

And included for the first time with the textbook —  a complimentary DVD for practicing palpation 

Trail Guide author Andrew Biel coaches students on palpation in this dynamic 3-hour complimentary DVD included with the 4th edition. It covers 79 muscles, key bony landmarks and includes more than 200 illustration overlays. 

New Tools to Support Instructors and Students 

We’re adding to the extensive student and instructor resources currently available to support Trail Guide to the Body. With the release of the 4th edition we will offer e-XPLORE, an online student resource, and a test bank developed using the ExamView®  Assessment Suite.

“Trail Guide is an essential reference for any hands-on healer. A wealth of useful details is presented in an accessible and easily comprehensive fashion.”

- Thomas Myers, Rolfer Author: Anatomy Trains – Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists

“Finally, a book that does not just teach us about anatomy and kinesiology, but actually teaches how to find your way around the body with your hands. A highly recommended text!”
