An essential resource for bodyworkers, physical therapists, and
sports medicine practitioners-a vital guide to understanding the
anatomy, form, and mechanics of the human foot Understanding the
Human Foot is a full-colour, up-to-date overview of the structure
and function of the foot, written for physical therapists and
movement practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of
holistic anatomy. Readers will gain perspective on the impacts of
foot shape; the interdependence of form and function; and the
cellular processes that determine how our tissue is designed. Most
importantly, author James Earls demonstrates how the foot relates
to and interacts with the rest of the body during movement, laying
the groundwork for a comprehensive holistic approach to assessing,
troubleshooting, and addressing functional and structural foot
issues. Starting with big-picture questions-what is a foot, and
what is it used for? How does it work, both on its own and as part
of a whole?-before zeroing in on the 26 bones, 33 joints, and many
muscles that make up the foot, Earls teaches anatomy the way he
wishes he'd been taught 30 years ago: with a holistic emphasis on
interrelated systems, real-life applications, and approachable,
easy-to-understand language. He shares: * Full-colour illustrations
for easy reference and comprehensive understanding * An overview of
the bones, ligaments, and extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the
foot * How your gait impacts the rest of the body-and can cause
problems as high up as the neck and shoulders * How to assess
structural problems of the foot * Corrective exercises * A footwear
guide to choosing the best shoe for your foot type
