Enhance manual therapy with a full understanding of the body's interconnected fascial networks! A worldwide bestseller, Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and Movement Professionals uses a unique whole-systems approach to demonstrate how patterns of pain or strain communicate through the myofascial webbing — giving rise to new treatment strategies for improving posture and movement function. This fifth edition is updated with the latest evidence-based research and includes a new, larger library of videos, including animations and webinars with the author. Written by practitioner and lecturer Thomas W. Myers, this text uses the metaphor of railway or train lines to show the effects that interconnecting myofascial and muscles have on the sites beyond their immediate locality.
