Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and Movement Professionals 4th Edition


Get a multi-dimensional understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy with Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists & Movement Professionals, 4th Edition. This hugely successful, one-of-a-kind title continues to center on the application of anatomy trains across a variety of clinical assessment and treatment approaches ― demonstrating how painful problems in one area of the body can be linked to a “silent area” away from the problem, and ultimately giving rise to new treatment strategies. This edition has been fully updated with the latest evidence-based research and includes new coverage of anatomy trains in motion using Pilates-evolved movement, anatomy trains in horses and dogs, and the updated fascial compendium on elements, properties, neurology, and origins of the fascial system. It also offers a new, larger library of videos, including animations and webinars with the author. In all, this unique exploration of the role of fascial in healthy movement and postural distortion is an essential read for physical therapists, massage therapists, craniosacral therapists, yoga instructors, osteopathologists, manual therapists, athletic and personal trainers, dance instructors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and any professional working in the field of movement.

  • Revolutionary approach to the study of human anatomy provides a holistic map of myoanatomy to help improve the outcomes of physical therapies that are traditionally used to manage pain and other musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Relevant theory descriptions are applied to all common types of movement, posture analysis, and physical treatment modalities.
  • Intuitive content organization allows students to reference the concept quickly or gain a more detailed understanding of any given area according to need.
  • Section on myofascial force transmission in gait dynamics is written by guest author James Earls.
  • Robust appendices discuss the relevance of the Anatomy Trains concept to the work of Dr Louis Schultz (Meridians of Latitude), Ida Rolf (Structural Integration), and correspondences with acupuncture meridians.
  • New photos and images of fascial tissues, adhesions, and layers provide a better understanding of text content.
  • Revised and expanded content reflects the most up-to-date research and latest evidence for the scientific basis of common clinical findings.
  • New, larger library of videos includes animations and webinars with the author.
  • New Anatomy Trains in Motion section by guest author Karin Gurtner uses Pilates-evolved movement to explore strength and plasticity along myofascial meridians.
  • New addition: Anatomy Trains in Quadrupeds (horses and dogs) is mapped for equine and pet therapies by Rikke Schultz, DVM, Tove Due, DVM, and Vibeke Elbrønd, DVM, PhD.
  • New appendix: Updated fascial compendium on elements, properties, neurology, and origins of the fascial system.
  • NEW! enhanced eBook version isincluded with print purchase, which allows students to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

    I am so glad I purchased this; it's got really excellent information in it about how to think about the different sheaths of fascia and how they layer within the body. I have really poured over it and, as a massage therapist, found very applicable techniques or new combinations of techniques to use to alleviate tension and pain. The most enlightening parts for me were; 1. that the rectus femoris is at the same level as the rectus abdominus. So if you stretch them together (moving in the same direction either up or down (cephelad or caudad); or in opposition to each other (usually after moving them in sync ) ) that great things happen for my clients. And 2. The deep neck muscles along the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae are at the same level of the psoas muscles. So for people with deep, core tension, working these (while they are face down) and adding manipulation of the serratus anterior muscle has been super helpful for my clients who were not really making progress past a certain point. Everyone is happy and my business is booming. I highly recommend this book!

    Thomas Myers presents important information and theory of the fascial connections that occur in the body which is assistance to any practitioner of "bodywork".

    The "Fascial" connections that he presents allow the practitioner to "look for" dysfunction a-long way away from the presenting complaint.

    I’m sure this book does not appear on layman radar, but in my case, the knowledge I gathered from this book is combined with ‘Encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding’. One way or another it may improve your sport life, help you to re-think about your old injuries or develop good strategy towards your new sport goal. A must have for all athletes.

    Beautifully done! Love the cadaver pictures. I do medical massage, so it is nice to be able to really see the direction of muscle fibers and fascia, not just imagining from an illustration. There are several great illustrations in this book as well. Book is well organized and a fairly easy read given the content. Well written. I really love this book. I keep it close at hand, because it is also a great reference guide. Would definitely buy again.

    before buying I read on comments that the code for videos is not working but it's not right. I'm enjoying the videos now and I am happy with them :) I have read the second edition before , So I was kinda familiar with the book and concept but bought it again as I have much respect the author Thomas Myers and was interested to see the latest additions.
