Sacrum Occipital ridge Front brow ridge. I'm not a clinician nor a coach, but as an amateur athlete, the book opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at the body for me at least.
Now obviously an expert or practitioner is going to get a lot more out of this than I using their experience to connect the dots of their education but I feel a sense of awareness.
For which I am very glad. As a therapist, I think the concept of individual muscle work is already exhausted and not working much for me anymore. This book gives me a new perspective on how muscle work as a functional unit by analyzing the myofascial meridian.
Chapter 1 was rather technical but the rest of the chapters were interesting read. More of a reference that I go back to often. Takes a long time to assimilate the information, but well worth the effort. View 1 comment. Jul 04, Clove rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-star-books.
Our reductionist worldview has had a crippling effect on our ability to understand and be in ourselves and the world. Tom Myers demonstrates the world-changing beauty on the other side of that paradigm. Fascia is fucking fascinating. There is certainly a before Anatomy Trains and after Anatomy Trains demarcation in my life. My literal existence is changed by this understanding. What I've perused and heard from others is that this is an outstanding reference.
Imagine, thinking of the body from the perspective of motion! Brilliantly written. Inspiring and validating and useful. View all 4 comments. Anatomy Trains. It's a classic. This book is always in the back of my mind when I'm looking for muscle patterns in people. Why does this hurt here? Oh, well, lookee over here In massage school you hear a lot of "everything is connected" in the body. This book helped me see this in a functional manner that I have been able to integrate into my massage practice.
If you do anything with human movement this is a must read. Very clinical and a heavy read but once you get into it, extremely fascinating and highly educational. The illustrations in this book are brilliant. Great for continued use.
I starting reading this book as a person interested in general anatomy, thinking I would get a quick fix from this book like all other books had before endowed me with. Oh boy was I wrong. This book took me on the long 'train' ride of discovering the body and looking at it as a unit than a sum of several parts.
While a lot of other 'novice' books take the body piece by piece and describe function of each muscle in isolation and maybe at some point try to relate them to other body parts this one I starting reading this book as a person interested in general anatomy, thinking I would get a quick fix from this book like all other books had before endowed me with.
While a lot of other 'novice' books take the body piece by piece and describe function of each muscle in isolation and maybe at some point try to relate them to other body parts this one doesn't do that.
From the very beginning it is established that the body works as a unit, each muslce affecting the other. There is no function in anatomy that is happening in isolation, the introduction of myofascia and piezoelectric effect establishes this early on. Overall this book is an amazing read, this is not something you read as a fun read while, it's extremely boring and fascinating at the same 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. The website accompanying this book — www. Both the understanding of the role of fascia and the implications and applications of Anatomy Trains are developing rapidly.
This new edition and its connections to the web ensure an up-to-date point of view on fascia, a largely missing element in movement study. I stand in absolute awe of the miracle of life. My wonder and curiosity have only increased during the more than three decades of immersion in the study of human movement. Whether our ever-evolving body was fashioned by an all-knowing if mischievous Creator, or by a purely selfish gene struggling blindly up Mount Improbable, the ingenious variety and flexibility shown in somatic design and development leaves the observer shaking his head with a rueful grin of astonishment.
One looks in vain inside the fertilized ovum for the trillion-cell fetus that it will become. Even the most cursory examination of the complexities of embryology leaves us amazed that it works as often as it does to produce a healthy infant. Hold a helpless, squalling baby, and it seems almost unbelievable that so many escape all the possible debilitating pitfalls on the road to a healthy and productive adulthood.
Despite its biological success, the human experiment as a whole is showing some signs of strain. When I read the news, I confess to having feelings of ambivalence as to whether humankind can or even should continue on this planet, given our cumulative effect on its surface flora and fauna and our treatment of each other. When I hold that baby, however, my commitment to human potential is once again confirmed.
