“Knowing human anatomy is the basis for effective assessment, technique delivery, and the ability to facilitate positive outcomes in fitness, massage and

manual therapy.” states Clint Chandler, Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, Educator and Creator of MyoFinder. “MyoFinder’s detailed anatomy text and instructive videos offer a review of 78 major muscles in 7 anatomical regions of the human body.”

 

Muscle and skeletal overlays enhance the viewer’s visual orientation and aid in showing the exact location of these critical anatomical structures.

MyoQuiz is an integral component of the MyoFinder app. It allows users to test their ability to recognize 78 muscles and progress through 4 distinct levels: Rookie, Novice, Master and Guru. There is also the ability to test oneself on one of seven regions within the body.
