The Nature of
Fascia wtih Robert Schleip PhD
This DVD provides a review of
recent scientific discoveries. A Rolfing instructor and Feldenkrais
Teacher, Robert Scleip became fascianated by the scientific
exploration of fascia and its manipulation. Rather than being a mere passive
packing organ, it has become increasingly clear that the fascia plays an
important role in myofascial force generation, in tissue stiffness
regulation, in pain generation and in proprioception. Robert Schleip is an
international expert on fascial research as well as a highly experienced
bodyworker. This 40 minute video presentation
describes fascia as our richest sensory organ. It will focus on fascia
as a most fascinating tissue seen through recent scientific discoveries.

THE INTEGRAL ANATOMY SERIES
See what you touch. Rare visions of the human form explored through
dissection.
Vol. 1: Skin and Superficial Fascia
Each volume of this series presents the
anatomy of human form, layer by layer, from an integral, whole body
perspective. The DVDs in this series systematically document tissues and
dissection perspectives missing from the established anatomical texts
and videos. Skin, superficial fascia, deep fascia, muscle, visceral
wrappings and viscera are dissected and demonstrated on camera as whole
body layers in a series of truly unique and revealing sequences
available nowhere else. In these DVDs, the viewer is brought directly
into the laboratory as a first-hand eye-witness to the dissection and
discovery process.
In what may be the most visually
surprising and important sequences in the series, skin and superficial
fascia are demonstrated as whole body layers in their superficial and
deep projections. The layers are dissected on camera and presented in
detail in their variations and in their implications for overall health.
The visuals include a stunning off-body example from the male, and the
entire superficial fascia of the female form is demonstrated off body as
a singular layer and discussed in its wide ranging importance.

Vol. 2: Deep Fascia and Muscle
In this volume the whole body
continuities of deep fascia and muscle are demonstrated in detail and
dissected on camera to demonstrate their relationships to underlying and
overlying structures. Following through with themes initiated in the
first volume, visual presentations and discussions of the practical
implications for professional practice of the layer by layer
demonstration of human form are carried deeper into the body. The first
volume creates the material and visual context for understanding the
layers explored in this volume.

Vol. 3: Cranial and Visceral Fasciae
This volume covers the fascial and membranous layers which surround
the cranial and visceral spaces. You've heard of the dura, arachnoid,
pia, endothoracic fascia, pleura, transversalis fascia, peritoneum, and
pericardium. These layers are literally impossible to understand by
looking at books or by hearing about them in classes, and are rarely
demonstrated clearly even in the laboratory. Sequenced with the first
two volumes, this stunning presentation plainly demonstrates these
bag-like layers which define the spaces of our organs and central
nervous tissues. The peritoneum is demonstrated in its entirety as
perhaps never before in a spectacular on-camera dissection, the dura is
revealed with its sinuses, healthy and pathological adhesions are
explored and explained. Central to this presentation is the respiratory
diaphragm, which cannot be understood apart from the serous membranes
upon which it acts. Here it is demonstrated with absolute clarity in its
continuity with the fascial and membranous layers of the viscera.

Vol. 4: Viscera and their Fasciae
This volume covers the viscera of
the abdominal, pelvic and thoracic spaces, and the fascia through which
they relate. This volume also introduces into the mix of examples an
un-embalmed female form. The story of the layers of the form is continued
where Vol. 3 left off, once the layers of the new form have been
reflected in turn. The various organs are carefully explored at a pace
coherent with the viscera themselves. The examples of the embalmed male
and female form, whose viscera present clearly, create an ideal contrast
to the un-embalmed female form in which many adhesions are identified.
The viewer is thus enabled to see both normal relationships and
movements, as well as the sequelae to pathologies and surgeries.

Anatomy Trains: Myofascial Meridians
for Manual and Movement Therapists. 2nd Edition.
Understanding the role of fascia in
healthy movement and postural distortion is of vital importance to
bodyworkers and movement therapists. Anatomy Trains: Myofascial
Meridians for Manual and Movement Therapists presents a unique
‘whole systems’ view of myofascial/ locomotor anatomy in which the
bodywide connections among the muscles within the fascial net are
described in detail for the first time.
Using the metaphor of railway or train
lines, Myers explains how patterns of strain communicate through the
myofascial ‘webbing’, contributing to postural compensation and
movement stability. Written in a style that makes it easy to
understand and apply.
Anatomy Trains provides an accessible
and comprehensive explanation of the anatomy and function of the
myofascial system in the body. The new edition includes a DVD ROM
containing video of techniques, Anatomy Trains-based dissections and
computer animations of the myofascial meridian lines.

Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries by Susi
Hately Aldous
Anatomy and Asana offers an easy and successful method to learn
anatomy and its relationship to yoga in a way that helps prevent
injuries. It is written by a certified yoga teacher with a diverse
background in kinesiology, ergonomics, and physical rehabilitation.
Anatomy and Asana answers many practical questions that are often
asked by yoga students – about back pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain;
about clenching the butt in back bends, and how to release the
hamstrings or prevent hamstring tearing in forward bends. The book
combines hands-on information with illuminating drawings, stories, and
helpful tips to show you how to practice yoga with less pain. It informs
without overwhelming the reader with too much information.
Anatomy and Asana is divided into four parts: basics of anatomy;
language of anatomy and movement; the eight essential principles of
movement as they relate to yoga; and application of these principles to
specific groups of yoga asanas: standing poses, back bends, forward
bends, twists, and inversions. For each group, the book shows where
there is a tendency for injury and what you can do to instill space in
your body and thereby prevent injury from occurring.

that our thoughts can change the structure and function of our brains,
even into old age, is the most important breakthrough in our
understanding of the brain in four hundred years. Dr. Norman Doidge
introduces principles we can all use to overcome brain limitations and
explores the profound brain implications of the changing brain in an
immensely moving book that will permanently alter the way we look at
human possibility and human nature.
Psychiatrist and researcher Norman
Doidge, M.D., travelled around the United States to meet the brilliant
scientists championing neuroplasticity, and the people whose lives
they’ve transformed — people whose mental limitations or brain damage
were previously seen as unalterable, and whose conditions had long been
dismissed as hopeless.

Anatomy of Breathing by Blandine Calais-Germain
“My hope is that [this book] will contribute to a more enlightened
practice of breathing. I also hope that you, the reader, will have a
better understanding of how breathing changes spontaneously from moment
to moment. My other wish is that you will discover how to consciously
choose a specific breathing technique for certain purposes or
circumstances.” -- Author’s Preface
Everyone breathes, yet few of us understand how to consciously
control breathing to improve our well-being and the quality of many
daily activities. Anatomy of Breathing is a clear and helpful guide to
both the theory and practice of breathing in its many variations. Hundreds of expert drawings along with easy-to-understand text help
you explore just how breathing works. Once you’re acquainted with the
principal organs, structures, and forces that affect breathing, you will
learn how to control them to enhance the quality and variety of
breathing in your own life. Along the way, you will also correct many
common misconceptions about breathing.

The Female Pelvis: Anatomy & Exercises
by Blandine Calais-Germain
The female pelvis and its contents are an underappreciated region of
the anatomy. Important not only for sexuality, they are also central to
the processes of childbirth and elimination.
The Female Pelvis was written for women to use over the course of
their lives, with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, and its
aftermath. Its purpose is to help women become more familiar with the
pelvis and its related structures, and how to keep them healthy and fit.
The book begins with a description of the functional anatomy of the
pelvis, and how it responds to pregnancy and childbirth. This is
followed by a series of specific exercises, initially for
self-discovery, and then to increase the flexibility, strength, and
coordination of each of the pelvic functions. The book concludes with
some guidelines which focus on the pelvis during different phases of a
woman's life.

Out In the
Open, The Complete Male Pelvis by R. Louis Schultz
This is everything you ever wanted to know about the
pelvis but were afraid to ask. Louis Schultz examines the male pelvis
under the dual lens of culture and science. North American culture
prizes male strength, upper-body bulk, and muscularity, but ignores male
genitalia for anything other than sexual function. The author strives to
increase knowledge of this body region with a guide to male pelvic
anatomy and a discussion of male sexual pleasure and emotions.
R. Louis Schultz is an Advanced Certified Rolfer
Emeritus, a Rolfing Movement Teacher, and an emeritus member of the Life
Science Faculty of the Rolf Institute. He founded the anatomy program at
the Rolf Institute and has presented Rolfing workshops in the U.S.,
Germany, Italy, England, Brazil, and Australia. Dr. Schultz received his
Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin in 1955 and
currently practices Rolfing in New York City.
