Anatomy Trains
Myofascial Meridians for Manual & Movement Therapists

Diese englische Edition des deutschsprachigen Buches "Anatomy Trains - Myofasziale Leitbahnen" hilft dir, die funktionellen Zusammenhänge der Muskel-Faszien-Ketten zu erkennen und mit ihnen zu arbeiten. Zum einfachen Verständnis benutzt der Autor Thomas W. Myers die Metapher von Schienen bzw. Eisenbahnlinien, die miteinander korrespondieren müssen. 

Das Buch richtet sich vor allem an Personen, die sich mit menschlicher Struktur und Bewegungen befassen: Physiotherapeuten, Athleten, Personal Trainer, Reha-Spezialisten, Osteopathen, Chiropraktiker, Manualtherapeuten, Yoga- und Pilates-Trainer, Masseure & med. Bademeister, Tanz- und Bewegungstrainer, Akupunkteure.

Klappentext:

What are Anatomy Trains?
Traditional anatomical study emphasizes individual muscles attaching from end to end, from bone to bone. Anatomy Trains expands our understanding of myofascial force transmission and the effects - for good and for ill - that interrupted strain distribution can have at some distance from injury or pain.
This voume clearly describes functionally integrated body wide continuities within the fascial webbing forming traceable 'meridians' of myofascia. Stability, strain, tension, fixation, resilience and postural compensation are all distributed via these lines. Based on the meridian map, this book presents many new and holistic strategies for manual and movement therapists to restore and enhance posture and movement function.
The theory offers the following benefits to the practitioner:
1. Anatomy Trains are applicable no matter what your approach. Once patterns are recognized, these meridians can be easily applied in assessment and treatment employing a variety of therapeutic and educational approaches to movement facilitation.
2. The theory provides a more powerful 'three dimensional' feel for musculoskeletal anatomy and an appreciation of whole body patterns distributing compensation in daily and performance functionality.
3. Clinically, the theory shows you how painful problems in one area of the body can be linked to a 'silent area' some part removed from the problem, giving rise to new treatment strategies.

Features
