Revised and updated: a user-friendly illustrated guide to human
anatomy, written for students and practitioners This concise,
pocket-sized guide is a full-color, on-the-go reference for
students and practitioners of anatomy, massage, physical therapy,
chiropractics, medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy. The Pocket
Atlas of Human Anatomy, revised edition, interweaves text and
images in a user-friendly and accessible way. Images have been
critically assessed and modified from the previous edition for a
highly reliable learning tool of bones, muscles, and nerves, plus
all the other major body systems. A final chapter by Thomas W.
Myers outlines The Anatomy Trains myofascial meridians, which
presents a map of how tracks of fascial fabric wind longitudinally
through series of muscles. This new approach to structural
patterning has far-reaching implications for effective movement
training and manual therapy treatment. Three appendices illustrate
cutaneous nerve supply and dermatomes (Appendix 1), the major
skeletal muscles, including detailed charts of the main muscles
involved in movement (Appendix 2), and the remaining body systems
(Appendix 3).
Get a multi-dimensional understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy
with Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians for Manual Therapists and
Movement Professionals, 4th Edition. This hugely successful,
one-of-a-kind title continues to center on the application of
anatomy trains across a variety of clinical assessment and
treatment approaches - demonstrating how painful problems in one
area of the body can be linked to a "silent area" away from the
problem, and ultimately giving rise to new treatment strategies.
This new fourth edition has been fully updated with the latest
evidence-based research and includes new coverage of anatomy trains
in motion using Pilates-evolved movement, anatomy trains in horses
and dogs, and the updated fascial compendium on elements,
properties, neurology, and origins of the fascial system. This new
edition also features an enhanced eBook format included with
purchase as well as new photos and images throughout both text
versions. In all, this unique exploration of the role of fascial in
healthy movement and postural distortion is an essential read for
physical therapists, massage therapists, craniosacral therapists,
yoga instructors, osteopathologists, manual therapists, athletic
and personal trainers, dance instructors, chiropractors,
acupuncturists, and any professional working in the field of
movement. Revolutionary approach to the study of human anatomy
provides a holistic map of myoanatomy to help improve the outcomes
of physical therapies that are traditionally used to manage pain
and other musculoskeletal disorders. Relevant theory descriptions
are applied to all common types of movement, posture analysis, and
physical treatment modalities. Intuitive content organization
allows students to reference the concept quickly or gain a more
detailed understanding of any given area according to need. Section
on myofascial force transmission in gait dynamics is written by
guest author James Earls. Robust appendices discuss the relevance
of the Anatomy Trains concept to the work of Dr Louis Schultz
(Meridians of Latitude), Ida Rolf (Structural Integration), and
correspondences with acupuncture meridians. New photos and images
of fascial tissues, adhesions, and layers provide a better
understanding of text content. Revised and expanded content
reflects the most up-to-date research and latest evidence for the
scientific basis of common clinical findings. New, larger library
of videos includes animations and webinars with the author. New
Anatomy Trains in Motion section by guest author Karin Gurtner uses
Pilates-evolved movement to explore strength and plasticity along
myofascial meridians. New addition: Anatomy Trains in Quadrupeds
(horses and dogs) is mapped for equine and pet therapies by Rikke
Schultz, DVM, Tove Due, DVM, and Vibeke Elbrond, DVM, PhD. New
appendix: Updated fascial compendium on elements, properties,
neurology, and origins of the fascial system. NEW! enhanced eBook
version is included with print purchase, which allows students to
access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a
variety of devices.
This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference
Fascial Release for Structural Balance includes all of the most
current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body,
and how treatment affects it. James Earls and Thomas Myers have
taken advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater
detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function,
making this updated edition an even more essential guide. Fascia,
the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a
crucial role in supporting the body. By learning to intelligently
manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic
conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain
relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the
patient's ongoing aches and pains and leading to rapid, effective,
and lasting pain relief. The authors argue that approaching the
fascia requires "a different eye, a different touch, and
tissue-specific techniques." Offering a detailed introduction to
structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural
analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper
assessment of a patient through "bodyreading," the book features
150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique.
Earls and Myers, both respected bodywork professionals, provide any
bodywork practitioner using manual therapy-including
physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger
point therapists, and massage therapists-the information they need
to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic
change in clients' shape and structure.
Featuring more than 250 photographs and 50 anatomical drawings,
"Deep Tissue Massage "is the standard guide to the essentials of
touch, biomechanics, and positioning options for a multitude of
strategies to treat all major conditions encountered in a bodywork
practice.
The book is divided into three sections. "Fundamentals" covers
basic skills of palpation, explaining the deeper layers of the body
and presenting detailed instruction on working with these layers to
release tension. This section gives clear information on the proper
use of knuckles, fist, forearms, and elbows in preventing injury to
the therapist. "Strategies" offers more precise protocols and
treatment plans for the entire body with emphasis on client
positioning options to stretch muscles rather than just kneading
tissues. "Caveats" details areas in which the practitioner needs to
exercise caution.
"Deep Tissue Massage "presents a wealth of information in a way the
therapist can immediately utilize. This new edition has been
thoroughly revised and includes a preface to the new edition, a
foreword, an index, a Suggested Reading list, and extended sections
on integrating deep-tissue massage into bodywork practice and the
psychology of treating injuries.
The Fascial and Membrane Technique developed by Peter Schwind
combines the fundamental thoughts from Ida Rolfs Structural
Integration with concepts of Osteopathy. With this a successful
combination of form-stabilising and mobilising techniques has
emerged. Due to this holistic approach the concept will appeal to
all manual working therapists. The main emphasis of this book is on
diagnostic and treatment of the breathing patterns manifest in the
myofascial system; minimalistic as well as global application joint
techniques; visceral techniques in the myofascial context; and
special treatment techniques in the craniosacral area, eg for
mandibular joint dysfunction, care of the upper jaw after implants
and for the after effects of a whiplash injury. Includes
comprehensive information on therapy from head to foot with
descriptions of the anatomic correlations. Clearly describes the
theoretical and practical principles so difficult concepts are
easily understandable. Detailed, easily transposed instructions
about treatments allow the reader to put the concepts into practice
with ease. Photographically documented movements show real examples
of topics discussed.
