I have been looking on Amazon and google but I was wondering if there was a specific book that some of you gurus refer to. I am studying to be a pt and am finding I sound like an idiot explaing the body positions, benefits of certain specific movements/exercises, etc without knowing training specific anatomy...it is so dry to study out of a regular anatomy text. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You should go get Gray Cook's 'Athletic Body in Balance' - Great for what you said, explaining different body positions and benefits of different movements -
http://www.amazon.com/Athletic-Body-...5360741&sr=1-1
It's pretty cheap on amazon -"Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life" - either Confucius or the Dalai Lama - I get them confused -

i 2nd that....i got this book via a friend who went to massage school, and this book goes into detail of each section of the entire body, gives easy reading to the beginner, and makes it easier, imo, to pick up on all the different terms people use for explaining the body...i have been reading this along with my PT manual.
