Anatomy Trains (R) for the Movement Professional: Understanding the myofascial meridians in action
Laurie Nemetz
This book is intended to help the reader be part of the rich movement dialogue in the rapidly changing field of myofascial science. Traditional anatomy has focused on the individual parts of the body usually through muscle specific actions, while Anatomy Trains (R) looks at the connections via myofascial lines. Tom Myers outlined his concept of the myofascial meridians in his landmark book, Anatomy Trains, which has brought attention to the relevance of understanding distribution and strain via connected areas of anatomy. This new guide, written by Anatomy Trains (R) faculty and workshop teacher, Lauri Nemetz, makes this concept accessible to all movement professionals and gives new insight for applications in movement disciplines such as yoga, Pilates and personal training as well as applications in somatic and movement therapies. The author also explores our wider relationship with the ageing process and environmental space. Throughout the book there are ‘movement labs’ which give the reader applications and experimental movement. There are also highlighted break out boxes. which give a window into the ideas and work of other leaders in the field of myofascial movement, in their own words.
