presents information on assessment of structural and movement patterns and gives related application to manual therapy and movement education uses numerous full colour charts and drawings to detail the muscular and fascial structures involved in the meridians Includes full-colour illustrations of 11 myofascial meridians and the rules for discovering other meridians 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. 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. 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: 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. There are also consistent references to the set of a dozen or more DVDs we have produced to support professional application of the Anatomy Trains concepts.Understanding the role of fascia in healthy movement and postural distortion is of vital importance to bodyworkers and movement therapists. The text is studded with website addresses for further study, and our own website, is being constantly updated. Like most textbooks these days, this edition makes increasing use of electronic media. The new full color design allows color-coded access to the information, allowing for a quick gathering of the relevant concepts for a hurried reader, or a detailed analysis for the curious. New client assessment photos have been produced by Michael Frenchman and Videograf. This edition benefits from completely new artwork by Debbie Maizels and Philip Wilson, as well as color updating of the artwork provided by Graeme Chambers. We have been able to include some recent discoveries made in the fascial and myofascial world since initial publication (much of it summarized in the Fascial Research Conference of October 2007 – com), as well as to fill in areas where our initial ignorance of the wider world has been rectified. This 2nd edition includes many small updates and corrections that arose out of our continuing teaching and practice, as well as preliminary findings from the dissections we have initiated since the 1st edition with Todd Garcia and the Laboratories of Anatomical Enlightenment.
