Four distinct pairs of abdominal muscles create the flat anterolateral abdominal wall. These muscles resemble sheets of muscle tissue, flat and in some cases even straight during contraction. The external abdominal oblique, the internal abdominal oblique, transversus abdominis, and the rectus abdominis are the muscles which create the abdominal wall.

The basic functions of these abdominal muscles involve providing structural support for the abdominal cavity as well as providing protection for the internal organs residing within the abdominal walls. These muscles are also available to assist in the process of respiration. Contraction of the muscles of the abdominal wall usually assists in activities such as protecting and offering the spine extra stability when lifting heavy objects or assisting in the process of defecation.

Childbirth is also assisted via the contraction of the muscles of the abdominal wall.

This book has been compiled with the object of meeting a want, to which my attention was repeatedly called by my students when preparing them for the examinations of the Incorporated Society of Trained Masseuses.

No book dealing with Anatomy, especially arranged for students of massage, has yet been written, and I have endeavoured to make good this deficiency to the best of my ability. It is hoped that this small volume will be found to embody all the ground covered by the syllabus of this Society for its examinations in Massage and Swedish Remedial Exercises.
