Description for: Anatomy Trains: MyofascialMeridians for Manual & Movement Therapists
By, Thomas Myers
Understanding the role of fascia in healthy movement and postural distortion is of vital importance to bodyworkers and movement therapists.
Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists presents a unique 'whole systems' view of myofascial/locomotor anatomy in which the bodywide connections among the muscles within the fascial net are described in detail for the first time.
Using the metaphor of railway or train lines, Myers explains how patterns of strain communicate through the myofascial 'webbing', contributing to postural compensation and movement stability.
Anatomy Trains is written and presented in a style that allows this new information on the myofascial system to be easily absorbed by a wide range of readers: from the interested student, athlete or client to the most experienced therapist.
