The Introduction to Life Anatomy Manual was written by Sherry Ogg and contains eight modules. Each module describes the position and movement of key body parts. These parts include joints, spine, pelvis, muscles, knees, legs, ribs, and shoulders. Each module concludes with Dr. Sweigard's method for neuro-muscular re-education. This method uses imagery to correct posture and alignment.

The Anatomy and Injury Prevention for Dancers video was produced by the Grant MacEwan College Dance Program. It illustrates each movement in detail. A life-size moveable skeleton mirrors a live model wearing an anatomically-correct muscle suit.
