Beschreibung
A unique and comprehensive approach to functional anatomy through the lens of myofascial continuities, from the coauthor of Fascial Release for Structural Balance However we describe fascia-whether as anatomy trains, myofascial chains, meridians, or slings-insights into the interconnected nature of fascial tissue have had a profound impact on our understanding of anatomy. The concept of tensegrity-the idea that changes in tension may affect the whole body rather than just one part-has likewise opened up new appreciation for the complex and interdependent nature of bodily movements. But musculoskeletal anatomy still tends to be taught in a drastically simplified fashion, through the study of fixed anatomical positions that do little to prepare us for the reality of actual movements. In Functional Myofascial Anatomy, James Earls suggests that we need a new set of tools and vocabulary for watching and describing anatomy in motion. Earls argues that it is seeing movement in action-in different bodies and in different environments-that should inform our understanding of anatomy, rather than the other way around. By situating the different theories of myofascial continuities against the context of common real-life movements such as sports movements and yoga asanas, Earls explains how each theoretical system may be useful in different situations and applicable to different 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 Myofascial Anatomy offers practical applications for physical therapists, chiropractors, and bodywork practitioners, and it offers teachers of yoga and Pilates a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement.
