by Thomas W. Myers

Churchill Livingstone | September 19, 2001 | Trade Paperback

An accessible and comprehensive approach to the anatomy and function of the fascial system in the body combined with a holistic overview of myofascial therapy. Many different therapists now use myofascial techniques to influence postural change and pain relief. This book demonstrates exactly how the muscles connect within the connect tissue to affect posture, compensatory strain, and pain patterns. The aim is to present scientifically sound and often complicated material in a way which can be easily learned, understood, and applied by those who do not necessarily have a scientific background. 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 student, athlete, or client to the most experienced therapist.

    This book written by Tom Myers, breaks free of the classical model of the human 'skeleton' and replaces it with a map of the body as a network of muscles and fascia (connective tissue) that work together to hold the bones in place - a subject vital to anatomical balance. The author's simplified approach to this complex relationship has made this book an important resource for Yoga and Pilates teachers.
