About the author
Andrew R. Biel
17 books18 followersHi, my name is Andrew Biel. I'm the author of Trail Guide to the Body, the award-winning book that has taught thousands of healthcare providers about musculoskeletal anatomy and palpation.
Why "Trail Guide to the Body" as a title? In preparation for any journey, it helps that you know the lay of the land. I want the reader to be able to manually map, navigate and gain their bearings on the human body.
This journey started for me almost twenty years ago. In the middle of the night I woke up, pulled out a yellow pad of paper and scribbled "Road Map Human Body -- book that connects stuff together" and then fell back asleep.
After thousands of hours and more than 500,000 copies sold after that initial epiphany, the success of Trail Guide to the Body (and the other products my company Books of Discovery has published) has surprised no one more than me.
I'm still writing (while tending to goats and chickens) and enjoying the life I have with my wonderful wife, Lyn Gregory, and our daughter, Grace Amalia.

Extremely helpful if you're a licensed Massage therapist. You can help your clients with stretches they may use depending on their needs
