Respected internationally for books including 'Understanding the Human Foot', 'Born To Walk' and most recently 'Functional Anatomy of Movement - An Illustrated Guide', James discusses the limitations of the traditional way in which anatomy is presented to soft tissue therapists during their studies, and how a change in approach is required in order to help theory become practice, in the pursuit of best helping our patients and clients.
