What are anatomical tapes?
Traditional approaches to studying anatomy emphasize individual muscles and their attachments—end to end, bone to bone. On the other hand, Anatomy Trains expands our understanding of force transfer within the myofascial structure. It also demonstrates the effects that disrupted tension distribution can have at a distance from the site of injury or pain.
This book clearly describes the functionally integrated continuities running throughout the body within the fascial network, which create identifiable myofascial "meridians." Within the human body—with its high center of gravity and small bases of support—these lines help distribute stability, load, and tension, as well as stiffness, resilience, and postural compensation. Based on the mapping of these meridians, this edition presents many new and holistic strategies for manual and movement therapists to help restore and improve posture and movement function.
