Countering the oversimplified teaching of musculoskeletal anatomy
via static positions, James Earls argues for a novel approach. He
calls for new tools and vocabulary to observe and articulate
anatomy in motion and posits that observing varied bodies in
different environments should refine our anatomy understanding.
Earls explores the profound effects of understanding fascial tissue
interconnectedness—described as anatomy trains, myofascial
chains, meridians, or slings—on our anatomical knowledge. He
delves into the concept of tensegrity, emphasizing its contribution
to our appreciation of the intricacy and interdependence of
real-world body movements. By situating the different theories and
metaphors of myofascial continuities against the context of common
real-life movements such as sports exercises and yoga asanas, Earls
describes the utility and application of each theoretical system to
many different situations and issues. Using up-to-date research,
Earls digs into important questions for physical and manual
therapists: which tissues really are contiguous? Does continuity of
tissue actually show or demonstrate transmission of force and
communication along those lines? And does fascial tissue have to be
continuous for the body to actually transfer force? Accessibly
written and fully illustrated, Functional Anatomy of Movement
offers practical applications for physical therapists,
chiropractors, and bodyworkers, as well as new tools for teachers
of yoga and Pilates to develop a deeper understanding of anatomy
and movement.
