Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians gets you connected! See how the muscles connect through the fabric of the body's fascia. Through life, injury, or attitude, these 'myofascial meridians' create postural imbalance, restriction or strain patterns that lead to myofascial pain. With the Anatomy Trains map, you see how the pain in the back is related to the fallen arch, or how the tension in the neck can be relieved by work around the hip flexors, for example. The course, developed by Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains, bridges a new approach to anatomy with myofascial release technique, body reading and movement assessment. The program is supported by posters, technique DVDs, computer programs, published essays and a dynamic website: www.AnatomyTrains.com.
