About This Book

The author sets out a system of exercises grounded in anatomy and physiology to develop and strengthen the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the fingers, hand, and wrist. After describing experimental origins and critiques of standard instrumental training, the work presents practical routines, explanatory diagrams, and apparatus recommendations for musicians, artisans, and those with hand ailments. It explains principles, methods of instruction, and staged exercises for free movement and use of portable and fixed implements, and outlines therapeutic applications such as treatment for rheumatism and contortions, concluding with guidance on instruction, testing, and adoption of these techniques in gymnastic and medical practice.

In preparation.

A Hand-book of Bodily Exercises, based upon A. Ravenstein’s “Volks-Turnbuch,” and edited by E. G. Ravenstein, F.R.G.S., &c., President of the German Gymnastic Society of London, and John Hulley, Director of the Athletic Club, Liverpool. In one volume, 8vo, pp. 400, and 700 woodcuts.
