PRETTY wall charts - do they exist?

[HubbaBubba]

Really, is there such a thing as an anatomy or similar chart that is attractive enough to hang on the tx-room wall? I've had all I can take of those "flayed-alive" muscle charts, and the rather sterile-looking charts of points and meridians aren't much better! I mean, *I* like those things, but my clients are totally turned off by them if not downright creeped out on occasion. If anybody has suggestions for charts of meridians, musculature, chakras etc. that have a subtle or "pretty" look, I'd be so grateful. They're so useful in demonstrating things to clients and I'd like something on the wall rather than just in a book.

What are your favorites? All suggestions entertained!

They do exist. Where I cannot for the life of me recall where I say them at.
but I have seen Anatomy charts that were colorful and be more suitable for a Tx room.
I will see if I can find them again and post the link for you.

Pretty wall charts-do they exist?

BJB,
Thanks for your comments on my website, I'll forward it to the designer.
I have two set of charts in my TX room: one is the colored set of Trigger Point charts that are sold by most massage vendors. Many of my clients like them because they're rich in color and they can point to pain patterns or ask questions about trigger points. While they are kinda basic, they are more than adequate for info. Second, I have a set of Lymphatic charts from Upledger on the other wall. I like these because they remind me of the other circulatory system and I hope to return to study LDT more in the future. I want to get one more that has dermatomes on it.
The Anatomical Chart Company has many charts for sale,have you checked them out?
Kind regards,
rubmyster

MR - those are *exactly* the ones I have been looking for. They were hanging on the wall of my school years ago and I wasn't sure I even remembered the name "Muscles in Motion" correctly. Thanks!

Also thanks for the other suggestions, and keep them coming if you've got more favorites. My husband is suggesting a full-length poster of David Hasselhoff with the chakras photoshopped in, so please save me!

That is one of the ones I was talking about. I am still looking to find the other ones I saw awhile back.

Yeah, my school had those, but I felt they were not as detailed as we needed. It was as if they sacrificed the clinical necessity to make them more appealing to the eye.

We didn't use Muscles in Motion as a clinical text or reference -- we had the more flayed-looking ones up as well, for that. I think it will fill the need for something that will be useful for and appealing to clients. I can fill in any detail for them that the chart might not picture exactly. I also like that there's a real sense of movement and agency to the figures, rather than the still and passive sense I get from a lot of other charts.

Thanks for the continued tips!
