Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and Movement Professionals Paperback – 16 May 2020

Great descriptions, great illustrations

Excellent book! Highly recommended!

I’m sure this book does not appear on layman radar, but in my case, the knowledge I gathered from this book is combined with ‘Encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding’. One way or another it may improve your sport life, help you to re-think about your old injuries or develop good strategy towards your new sport goal. A must have for all athletes.

This is a great book. I have learned so much from it. It also comes with access to a large library of videos from the author which are exceptional. I have learned many techniques from the videos that my clients find highly beneficial.

Good book. Great diagrams. Easy to extract lots of relevant and helpful information. Recommended.

videos are not avail

I've been meaning to read this book for years. It's highly recommended and I believe the cornerstone for a lot of Pilates and Yoga learning.Unfortuntley, I was left very underwhelmed.Let's start with the postives:- some very nice ideas for treatments and exercises- anatomy detail is good- nicely laid outThe negatives- there is a lot of research out there the makes us huge questions about some of the context in the book- extreme lack of research cited in the book. One chapter (about 30 pages) only has 5 research citations, two of which are his own previous articles.- lots of it, feels like it has been made unnecessarily complicated, possibly to lead the reader to think it's more advanced content than it actually is (possibly to justify a high price tag)It's unfortunate, because this book does encourage therapists and teachers to look at movement, which is never a bad thing.The main problem is the claims and context don't add up with the research out there, which often leads therapist to having a good skill set, but a misunderstanding of what's happening and why it's working.It's unnecessarily long (could easily fit into half it's size) there is lots of research to question the theory and a lack of evidence to justify credibility.I wouldn't spend hard earned money on it. If you can find exercise and treatment based on 'fascial lines' (or maybe under some other fancy term), which should be easy to find on YouTube give this a go as you'll find them useful. If not may be borrow this book and get use the exercise/treatment just take all the words with a pinch of salt and don't spend much time worrying about them. Don't spend big money on this, if you get a free copy or can borrow one then worth a skim through the other stuff.
