Fascial Tensegrity

This introduces the Anatomy Trains concept by taking a tour of the origins and disposition of the fascinating fascial net. We look at its components, its embryology, and its properties in human functioning. By viewing the fascial net as a whole, we see how the body can be seen as a variety of 'tensegrity' structure, where the dynamic interaction among bones, muscles, and the connective tissues produces our stance, movement, and 'attitude'. You will learn about the important role of connective tissues, and the development of the fascial network. We unfold and explain the complex origami of fascia's multi-layer arrangement.

This program summarizes the whole Anatomy Trains Myofascial Meridians system. The 'rules of the game' are laid out, as well as each of the 12 myofascial linkages, their components, and relationships in specific detail in a way no ordinary muscle-by-muscle and bone-by-bone anatomy course has ever done. These are explained and illustrated while they are being built onto the skeleton. This DVD includes common diagnostic elements, and some simple stretches to expose tensions in each line.

Thomas Myers, is a Certified Advanced Rolfer®, LMT, NCTMB, a prolific writer and speaker, Myers’ research and systemic approach to postural and movement patterns has revolutionized the teaching of anatomy away from the 'single-muscle theory' toward a more holistic appreciation of muscular interactions and their role in posture and dysfunction. Tom Myers trained directly with Dr. Ida Rolf, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, and Buckminster Fuller, and has been a leading practitioner of integrative bodywork for more than 30 years in a variety of clinical and cultural settings, including 10 years in London, and traveling practices in Hamburg, Rome, Nairobi, and Sydney, as well as a dozen locales in the US.

Author of Anatomy Trains Tom has also penned over 60 articles for trade magazines and journals on anatomy, soft tissue manipulation, and the social scourge of somatic alienation and loss of reliance on kinesthetic intelligence.
