Product Description
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. Written in a style that makes it easy to understand and apply, Anatomy Trains provides an accessible and comprehensive explanation of the anatomy and function of the myofascial system in the body. The DVD ROM in the back of the book contains video of techniques, Anatomy Trains-based dissections and computer animations of the myofascial meridian lines.
includes full-colour illustrations of 11 myofascial meridians and the rules for discovering other meridians
. uses numerous full colour charts and drawings to detail the muscular and fascial structures involved in the meridians

. provides a selection of techniques from the library of structural integration

This book demonstrate how the fascial system connects head to toes. As a manual therapist myself I was taught anatomy as isolated structures and this book + fantastic DVD shows how muscles and the fascial system forms funtional slings, lines, of muscles. Im still reading the book and it an easy read, lots of GOOD graphics and pictures, not to mention the quality of the DVD. GREAT BOOK GREAT CONCEPT!

Great book and DVD! Thomas Myers puts the body together in a new light and simplified manner. Quite fabulous.
Excellent book on fascial continuity August 18, 2009
Neil Sturman (Encinitas, CA USA)
Anatomy Trains describes fascial continuity in the body, with its therapeutic application. Tom Myers is incredibly generous with information, dissection photos, stories from the author's experiences and hands-on tips. This book must have taken a tremendous amount of time to prepare. The DVD that comes with the book has extensive clips of dissections showing relevant fascial anatomy and hands-on techniques. The writing style is very clear, full of information yet personal. Highly recommend!
