This book is a great resource for learning about muscle testing and function. To use it, start by skimming through the table of contents to find the topics that interest you. Read the chapters carefully, and take notes if you want to remember important points. When you come across examples or case studies, try to understand how they relate to the concepts being discussed. As it was a former library copy, be gentle when handling it to avoid any further damage. To keep it in good shape, store it in a dry and cool place, away from direct sunlight. Don't place heavy objects on it to prevent the binding from getting loose.
